Steering wheel can be irritating to center. I tied a peice of orange flagging tape dead center the steering wheel and kept poking my head up to check as I worked the turn buckle. Then drive it and repeat, till when your driving straight your steering wheel is dead center.

IMHO, the best way to make sure the steering wheel is straight is to invest in a little gauge called "Aeroforce Interceptor", it simply plugs in your OBD port.



It has a steering angle option that can be selected.

A friend and I used them after installing our lifts and the steering wheels are dead on.

Hope that helps.

That didnt come across rude at all. Im so happy to get some help. other than people here i dont know who else to ask that i can trust their answers Im gonna wait till my mom gets home and ill see if she wants to watch the steering wheel while i get under there.

Thanks so much everyone for all the help! i didnt expect so many people trying to help

Ill try centering the steering wheel tonight and see what that does. if it fails ill be sure and come crying

Thanks again guys.

Try this link www.aeroforcetech.com

Can't say enough good things about this little jewel, loads of options and you can piggyback two of them for even more sensory overload.

We ordered them direct from Aeroforce.
