When the steering box isn't centered 1/4 turn is where the double notches are in the splines on the shaft so it may not be centered. If it's not contacting anything I would turn the steering lock to lock and count the turns then go half of that back and see what you get. if the wheels are turned to the left you may have to center the pitman arm again. maybe even try the lock to lock thing while jacked up to make sure it doesn't turn more when it's unloaded. (remember to use jackstands)
