I know it normally done. but I dont' which is off...the TRE adjustment sleeves....or someone moved the steering wheel at some point. I want to check the steering wheel alignment to make sure its in the right spot before I take it to get aligned.
Nice tip on the alignment for life! Goodyear shop here charge $68 to do a reg. alignment....

Something you may want to consider is having it re-checked. It's so much easier to do that then trying to adjust your steering wheel or box. I found a great deal @ Firestone where you can buy a "Lifetime Alignment". Pay a little extra for the first time, then you NEVER have to pay for an alignment for that vehicle again!

Obviously, if I had it aligned, I would have asked to get the wheel centered. I need to find out if its the steering wheel position OR the box/pitman placement.

The horn ring has a tab that extends into a slot in the cast aluminum ringattached to the column. The twisting is pretty frim but it you start bustin' blood vessels in your forehead, your not tilting in the right direction. Tryit at 90 degrees positons until you get it. If you're still in a jamb tomorrow, I can dig out a 1/2 ring in the garage and confirm the tilt and twist details.

Tomorrow I'm going to checkif the steering box is correct (same turns L and R)...if so. I need to popoff the wheel and set it straight. Alignment seems spot on......Help.....
