2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Steering Wheel adjustment-drag link or tie rod?

[JCyrbok]

Doing the 3rd gen track bar upgrade and suspect that I will have to re-center my steering wheel when done.



Do u adjust the sleeve on the drag link (The rod that runs from pitman arm to the passenger wheel) or the tie rod sleeve (the one that is just about at the driver side wheel)? Or should I say screw it and take it for an alignment (which as of now it does not need).



My thought is that it is the drag link as this appears to move both wheels as opposed to the tie rod end that looks like it would only effect the driver side wheel.



Thanks

If you have not changed the links between the axles you may not need an alignment. Especially of the axle has the same position after the new link install. The way to adjust the steering wheel is to adjust the link that goes from the steering box to the passenger side. This will move the steering wheel without adjusting for the alignment. Hope this helps. D
