New steering box
I put a new steering box on my 71 blazer. The problem is that now it turns further to the left than the right. Is this solved by adjusting the drag link?

Re: New steering box
You will need to center your new steering box. Then put your pitman arm on with your wheels pointing straight ahead. Any small adjustments needed can be made with your drag link.

Re: New steering box
The pitman arm will only go on the sector shaft one way.
Center the steering box. Adjust the drag link till the wheels are strait. If the steering wheel isnt strait, remove, rotate, and reinstall.
