Steering Box

[Markb873]

I just put in a re-build steering box in a '93 and lined up the pitman arm as stated but my steering wheel is at 90 degrees. I am assuming someone was playing with the box before I bought it and it's off. Would just a 90 degree rotaion of the pitman arm correct this problem or is there a way to turn the steering coloum mechanisms and steering wheel to match the box. I know the steering wheel can be turned but for the turn signals to line up to i'm not sure.

thanks

Steering wheel and shaft and pitman arm are notched and can not be turned to center wheel.
To center wheel the right and left tie rod adjustment needs to be done.
First center steering gear box to center.
If a 3 turn box left to right center it at center or 1 1\2 turn from left or right.
Then adjust tie rod end adjustment to wheels straight ahead.
and adjust toe in same time.
A good aligment shop can do that for you if you do not have the equipment to set toe in.
Good Luck
