You need that.Then you need to center the steering box with the wheels.I get my wheels straight,then count the turns in either direction.Like 1 1/2 right and 2 3/4 to left,for example.That would be 1 1/4 different.Divide in half which would be 5/8 turn of the wheel.Now get the wheels straight as you can by eye again.Disconnect the back end of the drag link (@ steering arm).Lock steering wheel in one direction and count total turns to lock in the opposite direction.Take it back 1/2 that number and the column will be centered.Now,extend both ends of the drag link until it`ll go in the steering arm.Then,pull the steering wheel and turn signal canceller and center those.
