EVO Draglink Flip: How do I center steering Wheel?
Got the EVO draglink flip and the install went fine. However. I can't seen to center my steering wheel. I've done it before with a smaller 2.5" lift so I think I know how to do it, I have a procal too. The buckle is all the way to the left (Driver side) and my steering wheel is still off, which is messing with the ESP. If i turn the buckle to the Right the draglink falls off. I don't understand how to fix this. Do I need to remove the draglink and screw it in tighter before using the buckle?
Is it possible the wheel is a full turn off?

Try to unhook your drag link and count the turns on your steering wheel and get it centered with it unhooked and then adjust your drag link to that distance. Mine is the rock krawler and there is 3 places for adjustment. 2 on each of the tie rod ends and one on that peace you could see in you picture. I hope this helps. You should be able to screw you ends out with more threads showing.

Looks to me like you have all threads showing on one side, and no threads showing on the other side, which is wrong. I would disconnect the drag like from the knuckle, center your steering wheel and hold it there somehow, thread BOTH sides of the drag link into the turn buckle all the way, then while holding the rod end you have removed from the knuckle stationary(so it does not turn with the turnbuckle) adjust the turnbuckle to where the rod end is close to sliding through the hole in the knuckle. Once it is reattached to the knuckle, fine tune the drag link with the turnbuckle till your wheel is center.
It just looks like you rotated the turnbuckle and the outer end of the drag link at the same time when you installed it, which left all the threads on the outer end of the drag link still unused inside the turn buckle.
