need to turn the turn buckle on the arm coming from the pitman arm on the gar box and goes to the front end cross bar , that turnbuckle will set clear vision on steering wheel , may take a little adjusting to get it where you want it

[geoff thomas]

thank you that has helped i will give that a go with my best amature mechanics!!!

its not that bad , just get some one to sit inside and make sure you are turning the rigt way

You'll want to do this with the engine off, key on.

Truck in park with e-brake on.

Park the truck with the tires straight, and adjust the turnbuckle until the steering wheel is straight.





If I remember correctly, it's a 15mm socket that you'll need.

nothing annoys me more then a crooked steering wheel.Its real easy as long as you got someone to sit in the truck like what was already said.

hey out of curiosity, which way did you turn it?? Did you just loosen both nuts and turn the turn buckle??

[DCSpecial]

Yep, you loosen both of the nuts that are on the clamps that hold the sleeve on and then rotate it.

The direction you turn it depends on which way the wheel is off.

If your steering wheel is off to the right, you need to lengthen the drag link when you adjust the sleeve.
If your steering wheel is off to the left, you need to shorten the drag link when you adjust the sleeve.


Remember, Engine off, Key on, tires straight.
