negative Ghost Rider..it looks like a linkage, they said it will come with a kit?
I do believe that is it...Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!!
i got you...it is an aftermarket wheel (should've stated that earlier)..forgive my ignorance..it just amazes me that a wheel would be put on 45 degree off..hopefully after the ball joints/steering shaft coupler is taken care of...the steering wheel will be cured.
There is the right way to do things, or the half asses way to do things. You did the right thing having the suspension checked for play. Front ends are aligned with settings as small as a 32nd of an inch. You can't do that at home by counting the turns on the tie rod sleeve. As far as taking an aftermarket wheel off and repositioning it, I Don't remember ever seeing one you can do that with because it messes up the steering geometry of the front end. As the other poster said. The reason a steering wheel gets off center to begin with is you have another problem causing it to be off center. Loose suspension parts, knocked out of alignment by hitting a pot hole, curb, fender bender, etc. Make sure the steering is tight. Double check for looseness after replacing the parts that are really loose as some parts with slight looseness may not be noticeable until you have replaced the severely loose ones. Then have it aligned. An alignment tech having look up the adjustment points for caster and camber in a book before making adjustments is common. I wonder how often one of todays techs does front end work on a 71 RR. That doesn't make him a bad tech. All brands of cars have different ways of adjusting them. I did front end work on every brand of car out there for over 20 years from the mid 70s through the 90s and did thousands of 2 wheel (front only) and 4 wheel alignments. I would stick with your friend at the alignment shops advice and disregard what these backyard bozos on here are telling you to do. Not having it done correctly can not only wear out a set of tires very quickly, but can also endanger your life. It wouldn't be too great having that nice car you just bought lying on its top in the ditch because a very loose ball joint, or tie rod end broke because some bozo told you. Aw hell, just pop the wheel off and stick back on how ever it looks the best. But it's your car you do it how ever you want. And by the way, Moog parts are very good parts. They been around for decades. I have installed hundreds of their parts and never had one fail.
