Did you ever have this problem: you're driving down the road, the vehicle is going straight, but the steering wheel is half-cocked to the right and the signal lights will only cancel properly one way, and you have to hand cancel them the other way? This is an easy fix and will only take you a half hour of your time, and it will seem like witchcraft after you're done with the job. | Did you ever have this problem: you're driving down the road, the vehicle is going straight, but the steering wheel is half-cocked to the right and the signal lights will only cancel properly one way, and you have to hand cancel them the other way?

If the steering wheel has an indexed spline and the steering wheel can only go on in one position, the centering must be done by using the tie rod sleeves. Loosen the clamps and turn them an equal amount in the correct direction to center the wheel. Be sure to turn them equally or the toe in will be off. Tighten the clamps when you're done. | If the steering wheel has an indexed spline and the steering wheel can only go on in one position, the centering must be done by using the tie rod sleeves.
