steering help?

[taka21]

so i have found that my steering wheel turns more to the right than it does to the left.
my question is can i fix this by centering the steering wheel so that it turns the same to the right and left then adjusting the tie rods so that the wheels are strait again?
or will i mess things up by trying that
thanks

First off, no don't do that.
Second off, you're from MD. Whats up?!
Third, make sure your wheels or rack aren't hitting something when turned to full-lock.

Actually ya that would correct it. The rack will only turn so many times from lock to lock. So the column will only turn so many times from lock to lock.

Someone prolly did what your not supposed to do which is stick the wheel on anywhere and and adjust the tie rods till it drives straight.

thats what i thought, i gotta get two new tie rods (mine dont tighten anymore on the steering knuckle side)

Is the wheel straight when driving in a straight line, or is it turned to one side?

its straight but thats cause i fitted an aftermarket steering wheel.
it does tip to the right just a bit tho
