My truck has had every single front end part replaced with all AC Delco and a few Moog problem solvers parts. New power steering pump and just put in a new blue top steering box.(rumor is Red top is no good anymore)

I have the same problem I had when I started replacing everything.

The steering is tight and when you go to make a turn it won't self correct, it'll do u-turns if you let your hand off the wheel. I've had two alignment shops look at it and align it, one bumped the torsion bars up a little bit and one said replace the steering box which I just did.

Help!

PS. We also swapped out different pitman and drag links because we thought maybe they were too tight themselves.

Sometimes when ball joints get replaced they get over tightened.  THis can cause the steering to "stick"  The way to determine if its the ball joints is to disconnect the tie rod ends from the knuckle and see if the tire will turn (just grab the tire by hand and turn it back and forth) without any sticking
