Steering Wheel Adjustment

[jwebb]

My steering wheel is off by a couple of splines on the connector to the rack, what's the best way to resolve this? Can the rack be loosened to allow the splined coupler to come off the rack and be repositioned? I know I should have paid more attention when initially installed...

Yes, loosen the Allen set screw on the steering shaft bearing and the steering shaft u-joint. For me I had to turn my wheel so that the U joint would allow me to slide it off when everything was loose. To get it right it may take a couple try’s so don’t tighten things till you know it’s right.

If the steering column bearing is on the outside (forward) of the firewall, you may need to move the rack. Most of the time the part of the column you see in the engine compartment is captured between the rack and firewall w/o enough freedom to come off of the rack.

If you haven't already, get a front wheel alignment first.
