    Driving the Lesabre, I find when turning the steering wheel, it feels 'notchy'. Like gears that are not quite aligned perfectly. Haven't looked in the shop manual yet but curious as to what could cause that.

    Background info - I have rebuilt the front suspension and replaced the steering box. I have done nothing with the steering column.

    First guess- steering box gears adjustment too tight? Try loosening them up?

    Walter,

    Try loosening the box 1/4 turn & see what happens. I Test EVERY box BEFORE it leaves my hands so SHOULD NOT be over tightened.
    Could very well be something else is coming into play.
