steering alignment

hello everybody

i own a 91 surf with 3.8 conversion, bit of a lift, 33 inch muddies, etc.
during the week i did the most crucial mod of all by adding a sports steering wheel, it looks and feels pretty cool.
i lined it up all straight and perfect, with the wheel perfectly in line when i was driving straight.

i went for a thrash around menai today for a couple of hours and bounced it off a few rocks, etc. Was quite a bit of fun.


when i was back on the black top i noticed now that the steering wheel is no longer any where near straight when i am driving in a straight line.


why is this?
and how can i fix it?


cheers

justin

I'd take the wheel off and put it on straight - problem solved. Saves all those alignment bills!

you have put your wheel alignment out. If you ignore it and put the wheel on straight it will save alignment bills.' For now'. But it will cost you in tyres.
Get it re alligned. it is not that dear.

Get used to it.

When I still had the standard steering it used to do it everytime. Would get the ali re done and some times it was in that but most often it wasn`t. I think it might twist the spline on the steering box. Never borke anything other then a J arm. Now I have high cross over and it hardly ever does it, once or twice it has and I think that is the spline on the box or shafts twisting.
