Steering Wheel / Linkage Adjustment - 3rd Gen HD's
« on: January 04, 2009, 11:43:08 pm »
Is your steering wheel slightly misaligned?

Does it drive you nuts?

Does the truck otherwise drive strait, no pulling, no uneven tire where, etc.?

Well, here is all you need to do to center your steering wheel.

Make sure before you start this, you spray the adjuster down with some PB Blaster or other penetrant to loosen it up.

I had the truck up on the lift today, so I figured I'd get some pics of that for ya.

People always think that's a hard one.

That's usually how it goes.

Guys do the leveling kit and the steering wheel is out of center.

That's all ya need to fix it.

Will this work for me after I replace my pitman arm and steering gear box?
