WellI have to say MINE was further gon than I thought. After I pulled it out and looked it over. MAN I can't believe I was dsriving it like that. Any way took one out of a pick a part type bone yard. 99 v-6. With tie-rods for $55. took about 1.5 hours. very simple I must admit.

Only thing I need to to is adjust the stearing wheel. It a tad off. Not bad though.
to remedy this I need to remove the steering wheel and put it back on in the correct position???

You were brought up in the old days with symetrically splined steering wheels. I know aero foxes have an indexing cam in the hub (the wheel only goes on one way) and I'm pretty sure ours are the same, but I cant remember. I can look at a spare wheel later on tonight if needed.

To straighten your wheel these days (if I'm right), you have to get the wheel straight and then shuffle the tie rods (evenly on both sides) till the front wheels are straight.
