Re: How to adjust steering wheel position?

Set steering wheel to the level position.
Adjust tie rods to get correct wheel alignment.

That's the way the factory does it.

If it's way off there is a good chance the frame is bent slightly. Have that problem on mine after the wreck. What happens is that the pitman arm is no longer centered in the linkage, and one tie rod ends up long and one short. It messes the steering ratios up a bit but for a driver not a racer it's not a big deal. But check and make sure that you have at least the minimum thread engagement on the tie rod adjusters.
