Re: 65 Plymouth Steerng wheel

[Mike and Linda <miclinmopar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know it normally done.  but I dont' which is off...the TRE adjustment 
sleeves....or someone moved the steering wheel at some point.  I want to 
check the steering wheel alignment to make sure its in the right spot before 
I take it to get aligned.

Nice tip on the alignment for life!   Goodyear shop here charge $68 to do a 
reg. alignment....

Mike,

Honestly they should center the wheel as part of the alignment...not
as an extra.

Something you may want to consider is having it re-checked. It's so
much easier to do that then trying to adjust your steering wheel or
box.

I found a great deal @ Firestone where you can buy a "Lifetime
Alignment". Pay a little extra for the first time, then you NEVER have
to pay for an alignment for that vehicle again! (I have no affiliation
w/ Firestone
