Just glide to a stop (hands off the steering wheel). Your tires will be pointing straight ahead. Leave the steering wheel unlocked and loosen the clamps on the adjusting sleeve. Then with an assistant watching the steering wheel, turn the sleeve. The steering wheel will turn (either in the correct direction or not) if it gets worse, turn the sleeve the other way.

It only takes about a 1/4 turn to move the wheel spokes about 45 degrees. This method doesn't affect your front end alignment. Nothing in the steering linkage changes - only the index of the steering wheel. Much easier than adjusting both tie-rod ends.

I'm not seeing the pictures but this advice is spot on.

One of the easiest fixes there is.
