OK, I did what I could before having to come to work. I basically took off the centerlink and tie rod assemblies and adjusted them till both sides were about the same (pretty much in the middle) Then I made sure the steering box was centered, and it turns out that my steering wheel is on perfectly straight when the pitman arm is parallel with the frame rails. The problem seemed to be the ridiculous tie rod adjustment, or lack thereof. So then I worked on adjusting each side at a time until the tires were straight. Man, it sure is hard to get the lock nuts back onto the inner tie rods. I tried everything I could think of and I couldn't get the lock nuts back onto the tie rod end. Not sure if there is a trick or something, but once the bolt gets on so far, the shaft starts spinning. Time was limited, so I had to stop, but I did turn lock to lock and there was a huge improvement over what I had. So now the only issue is getting the lock nuts and castle nuts back on all the way......Any tricks or suggestions?
