Hi
Last weekend i whent out playing in my GQ ute. I hit a water hole a little fast (70kms) and it was a bit deeper then first thought. once towed out we seen that i had bent a rim and steering arm. The arm from the steering box to the wheel. i have sinc fixed it but the steering is out about 1/2 a turn. Just not sure where to look at next to fix it. Steering box???

The Panhard? When you say fixed did you simply straighten it or replace it? If you simply straightened it it will be significantly weaker - Get yourself a new one!

Do you have lift? If so how much? It could be a variety of things causing this.

If you are getting full lock then it may be a difference in the new arm or you may have bent the shaft in the steering box or you may have nent the arm on the bottom of the steering etc.
Due to what you are playing with and how important it is, I would suggest you get someone who really knows what they are ding to check the whole steering setup.
