Re: 94 Body Height

OK O.M. i have another alignment question for the master. i finaly got the pontiac aligned after replacing the passenger side lower control arm and the trailing arm that were bent in the accident. the steering wheel was off center big time to the right before i replaced the control arm, and after the repairs it was right on center and the vehicle tracked perfect, no pulling or wandering. i went ahead and got an alignment anway and now the sterring wheel is off center to the left, enough that the left turn signal doesn't always cancel now. i took it back for a redo and it seems even worse. the alignment seems fine and i got the print out showing it's in spec, it's just the steering wheel off center that really annoys me.

a friend of mine says he can fix it quick since the aligment is good. he says to measure the toe in with a piece of string for reference. then let out the left tie rod, counting the turns, until the steering wheel is centered, then bring in the right tie rod the same amount of turns then check the toe in with the string, adjusting the right tie rod until the toe in is right. will this work?
