Steering box problem...

[snowracer69]

If you all remember about 4 months ago I did something to my steering in my '01. Everybody seemed to think it was in my steering box...probably having twisted or broke my sector/output shaft. Well, I finally got around to yanking out the old box today, after I got my new one from Enterprise. Once out, I took the old one apart, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it from what I can see. The sector/output shaft is perfect. All the bearings on the box are fine. The gears are all good...none are worn or bent, or twisted. All the splines on both shafts are in perfect shape. So, now the dilema...

What do I do? Put the old one back together (seals are all good still) and just re-align my steering wheel via-the track bar? If you remember, my steering wheel is off 90* to the right. When I took the old box apart, everything looked the exact same as the new one...everything lined up perfectly. Put the new one on, and throw away $300 of BOMBing money? I do have some play in the output shaft, just like everyone else, and my "Darin's Bracket" that should be on the way ought to fix that.

Is there any possible way that I twisted the steering shaft that goes from the steering wheel to the box? That's about the only other thing I can think of. I've had the alignment checked by two different places, and both said it was fine (Dodge did it, charged me in full, and never put a wrench on it! Another place did it and told me it was fine...everything was right on, and nothing was broken.

What do I do?

Sorry for being so long winded...Josh
