Centering Steering Wheel

I have Skyjacker D25 springs & just installed the DT Track Bar last night. Now steering wheel is not centered. How do I center it?

Re:Centering Steering Wheel

Marky Mark,<br>It is very easy<br>On your steering linkage from the box you will notice a collar w/ 2 bolts on it. loosen the bolts just enough to rotate this collar. This will lengthen or shorten the arm depending on the direction. Start w/ a couple of rotations in the proper direction and go for a ride. Stop frequently (in a safe place ) and make corrections and adjustments. You will get it strait shortly. When satisfied, Make sure to tighten the two bolts back up and you are done.<br><br>Piece of cake<br><br>DD

Re:Centering Steering Wheel

If I remember correctly those two bolts have to face a certain direction so not to come in contact with another part. Just thought you might look if you just tighened and left them whichever way they were.

Re:Centering Steering Wheel

I must have put them the right way because I just got back from a 350 mile trip up to the mountains &amp; all was good. No more clunking front end with the new track bar. I will take a look at it just to be safe. Thanks.
