Once a couple week and ago my steering seemed to not return to center while driving, last night it did this to my again on a corner and caught m off guard. Like hap pier assist while turning and then when straightening out it didn't come back to center. Box is from salvage yard a few years ago when previous box lost seal. Pump is old and I ran it out of fluid at least 20x during this leak from the box. It maybe both. Other note I did top it off with some Lucas power steering fluid product a month or so ago not the thick stop leak stuff just a additive I got on sale one day

Both king pins have been replaced in past two years, and steering linkage checks out with almost no play, actually it appears that my gear box is the only play I have in my steering. Power steering additive wouldn't have anything to do with this by chance would it?
