Steering question

I put the OME medium duty springs and shocks on my 96 Disco. It drove fine for about 6 months after the install, but now the steering is REAL quick. It is tight, but any movement of the steering wheel causes it to move way to fast, even with small movements of the wheel.
What should I look for?

Thanks

I had a similar problem with my stock set up. My problem was a loose bolt on the top end of my panhard rod. It made the steering very sensitive. I tightened the bolt up, and it made a world of difference. You should also check all of the bushings in the front end, and make sure everything is properly torqued.

Go back and recheck all the bolts, particularly the front shock towers, and retighten everything. Put the front of the truck up on stands and get under it. Shake, rock , roll the wheels, pull all the rods, joints , steering damper, etc until something gives.
