After replacing the front steering components (adjustable track bar, steering linkage, upper and lower control arms) I was able to replace my steering box. The slop is gone but still a slight shimmy. Turning to the left is completely normal, but I can’t turn the wheels all the way to the right. I’m feeling like it’s gonna be something simple I just can’t picture what it might be. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

With the wheels centered, is the pitman arm parallel to the frame (pointing straight rearward)? If not, you could be hitting internal stopping features in the box, which could cause damage.
Are you confident the clockspring is centered? It generally doesn't provide much resistance, but could prevent the wheel from turning all the way if not properly centered.

Actually after my test drive I noticed my steering stabilizer was tightened down enough so it slid down and was interfering with the steering. BUT you caused me to notice that my pitman arm isn’t quite straight. I never knew it needed to be straight so I’ll make that adjustment later. Thanks!!!
