Steering issue

[Jim0287]

I recently bought a 76 CJ5. There is no play in the steering, but there is no resistance when the steering wheel is turned. It is like jeep is on a sheet of ice. Any idea's of what problem could be. Jeep is excellent otherwise. The Jeep is not lifted but does have oversized tires.

Are you saying that the Jeep turns too easy?
Do you know if it has the original, or an upgraded power steering pump?

This is a bit old. But id check caster . Also check camber to tire height and width.
Toe is important but if you have less than 4 -5 deg caster the scrub is under the center of the tire providing little resistance and forces to return to zero.
