Steering Help Please

[Stu_22]

after taking my subframe off and now starting to put it back together I got to the steering shaft. I thought if I had the wheels straight and the steering wheel straight that wouls be that.
I was wrong as it gave me 1.5 turns to the left and 2 turns to the right how do I sort this?:1zhelp:

Did you replace/remove/refit the tie rod ends?

if he removed the subframe he did... no way to get the steering rack off without doing that.

get under the car and measure the distances between the part on the tie rod where the thread stops and the jam nut. they should be equal (or damn close) on both sides. you can adjust them to be close yourself, and then with the wheels pointing forward the steering wheel should be straight up and down and you will have the same amount of turns in both directions.

i advise you to take the car to an alignment shop to get the alignment done soon, or bye bye tires... plus they will adjust it all for you so that the wheel is perfect.

yeah its.. pretty hard to align a car without the proper tools... or it is just extremely time consuming... i had toyota do mine

This is the thing I havent touched the tie rods. I just took the subframe off.

Put the three wheels straight and put the shaft back on

You sure the rack is sitting in it's saddles?

 

[Stu_22]

yep hasnt been touched.

I assume the impu shaft of the pump just goes round and round
