Question Minor alignment issue

My 91 S-10 had an alignment less than a year ago and it's still in relatively great shape, but the wheel I put on is not centered anymore and I need to adjust the tie rods to center it again. The steering wheel is currently right of center and I want to 'turn' it left approximately 1/8 of a turn. Can anyone describe to me which way I need to turn my tie rod adjusters in order to do this and still keep the alignment?

Re: Minor alignment issue

if you have to adjust your tie rod ends to centre your wheel, it is time to replase your tie rod ends.have you checked your steering box to see if it is centred. it sounds like you need another alignment.

Re: Minor alignment issue

They were just replaced at the time of alignment when the entire f.e. was rebuilt.
