Reclock steering wheel

[slaterson1]

So, I just installed the Daystar level, some homemade links and 285/65r20 Falken Wildpeaks on my '19 Limited. I took it to get an alignment after the install just to make sure it was tracking straight at the new ride height and when I got the truck back I noticed the wheel was clocked a little off center (drives me crazy!). I live way out in the sticks and dont really want to go all the way back to the alignment shop just for that. Is it posibble to reclock my wheel myself or is it better to just bite the bullet and make the drive and have them fix it?

Yes it is, lessen the jam nuts on both sides then adjust the tie rods. One side will go in and one side will go out. Easiest way to do it evenly is to go in 90 degree increments and do both side the same amount. You have to make sure that your doing one side in and one side out or you’ll screw up the toe measurement. Adjust it once, Retighten the jam nuts and drive it. It’ll either be better or worse. If it’s better keep doing it a little at a time till it’s right. If it’s worse then go the opposite direction with everything. Just FYI this procedure is how most shops center the wheel afterwards
