Re: Lifted steering arm height

You absolutely "have to" adjust the drag-link (longer) to get the steering wheel back centered.
Since it is too short now, you lose turning radius to the right, which is the way you need to turn the sharpest anyway. That is why everyone notices it.
You may notice that it turns more to the left, but that is not helpful

Also, be prepared with some PB Blaster (or other lube of your choice), they can be a bit rough to adjust....unless the previous owner let a gearbox leak go for years, that helps

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
