Reply to "Steering wheel off center"

Removing the wheel to center it is NOT the way to straighten it. Your pitman arm is most positively NOT dead center now when the wheels are straight ahead. And it should be.

You're supposed to center the pitman arm and the wheel goes on straight then. After that, you adjust the tie-rods to make it track straight and have the correct toe-in.

Steering boxes are adjusted at ONE spot for minimum play. That spot is dead center, and only dead center. Moving the wheel a couple splines and then using that as center is NOT the way to do this.

Check the Bentley manual if you don't believe me.
