Steering box problems

[Beanzermin]

So I got the old box out and put the reman one in. Bled the system, replaced the pitman arm, and double checked the bolts. I have an equal amount of turns left and right with the steering wheel. But for some reason when I turn left the wheel does not come back. It's almost like it gets stuck and I have to pull it back. I do have a bit of slop at dead center. Maybe like 3" or so. Do I just need to re-adjust the box? Will that get rid of the sticky wheel?

How's your alignment? It almost sounds like an alignment issue more than a steering box issue.

You can tighten up the slop by adjusting at the pin and nut on top of the gearbox.

Are you driving and it's not coming back to center? Then yes, alignment time.

x3, return to center is a function of caster.

Awesome! That's what I was hoping for. Gonna get an alignment tomorrow. Arrow the place I take it too is closed Sundays. I knew I needed an alignment but just thought this problem might be box related.
Proof I need alignment

Did you align the match marks on the pitman arm and gear box shaft?

Checked today to make sure. Yes I did. I got an alignment in Tuesday, rebled the box and played with the screw on top to take up the slop. It feels a lot better. Still sticks a little when turning both ways now. But I don't have to pop the steering wheel back to the center. I'm happy with it now. Thanks for the replies!
