My problem goes right along with this. I center the pitman arm , but the steering wheel turns further in on direction than the other. The steering wheel goes on the splines only one way , and I can't get everything in the proper position. I have adjusted the tie rod ends, but that still doesn't get it right. What am I missing here?........................MO
 
Normally you should be able to turn the gearbox lock to lock and count the turns. Crank it back half of the turns and the pitman and idler arm should be parallel with the body. The steering wheel spline should be straight up if everything is correct.
 
Stock steering box coupler. Also noticed its leaking at the gearbox shaft:(
