Probably 2 years ago my brother changed the ignition on my 93 GT. I'm not too sure what he did, but when he put the steering wheel back on,etc it wasnt aligned right. So from that day on it tilts to the left a little when driving straight. I remember him doing the work when the car was parked up the driveway which kinda slanted a little, so I thought maybe that was why. Today, I decided to try to correct the steering wheel alignment. I made sure the wheels were straight(steering wheel tilted a little to the left) then I removed the steering wheel. The arrow on the inside was higher than the Y that your suppose to line it up with so, I centered it. Then I installed the steering wheel again and bolted it up. Took the car around the b- still off to the left. I parked, pulled the steering wheel off again. Decided this time to allign the arrow below the Y and that maybe this will off center itself. So, after that put the steering wheel back on,etc and tried to drive again- its still off!!!
Is there something I need to do to get this right? Anyone have this issue before? I tried to search but didn't come up with much. I did see that someone had the problem after installing a new steering shaft and keeping the key in the on position, and it was said that you have to remove the shaft from the rack and pinion. The steering shaft has never been removed, just the wheel was pulled when doing the ingintion.
Also, once you take the steering wheel off, theres instructions under there saying that you must turn the inside part in the direction of the arrow until tight then turn it 3 1/2 tuns the opposite way and align at Y- if you do that your wheels turn, and after after 1 1/2 turns im almost at full lock- am i missing something? Am I suppose to have the front end in the air? Anyways, I need help- im not sure how to fix this. I thought it would be no more than a two hour job at most taking my time and relaxing, but its taken a lot more
