Portland, Oregon



Hi Guys,

I have a stock '91 F150 2WD that's a real cream puff. It's in perfect shape and drives fantastic. I just recently put new tires on it and with that also had an alignment done. Like I said, it truly drives great except the steering wheel is slightly off-center. Most people probably wouldn't bother with it but for me, it very annoying and drives me crazy. It's only off one or two degrees........not a lot. Does anyone know the proper proceedure for adjusting the tie rod ends/sleeves to center the steering wheel without changing the tow-in on the alignment? I know it's a matter of turning the tie-rod adjusting sleeves but which ones and in which direction?

Sure would appreciate some help on this because I really don't want to take it back to the alignment shop as it's a huge hassle.

Thank you in advance for your help.
