Just finished 5-lug swap on my 93 coupe. After adjusting toe on car, the steering wheel is not centered. I'm about out of adjustment on the ball joints and the steering wheel is not centered. If I try to center the steering wheel I will not have enough adjustment on the passenger ball joint. I pulled off the steering wheel thinking it was splined but it is not so I could'nt just readjust the wheel. Anyone know of any longer tie rods or anything or how to center the steering.

Just in case anyone was wondering, on my 93 coupe you can't just center the steering wheel. I ended up just playing with the tie rods until I got it right. The passenger side tie rod threads are about 5/8 of an inch inside the tierod. I don't guess it will hurt anything. Just using the old string trick I have the toe set about 1/4 inch negative on each side. Car drives pretty good I guess I will just have to watch tire wear.
