Gear Box ????
Hey Guys, I recently put a new gear box on my truck. Went through a couple till I found a good one.
Once I got it all put back together, my steering wheel now sits as if it where turned to the left. (note the first 2 leaked but the steering wheel was straight)
1st question: Is this a problem with the gear box its self? As in I would need yet another 1.
2nd question: After replacing the gear box should I have got an alignment, and would that help the steering wheel issue?
Thanks,
Harry

The Spline is keywayed.
You could always pop the arm back off and turn the box a few times till the pitman arm lines up with the tires strait and the wheel strait.
Not sure if that would work, but its a thought.
The honestly easy way on gear boxes is to buy a new one, I've never had good luck with used ones.
How far off you talking?
