[QUOTE="big dad, post: 16633749, member: 100697"] There's a very easy way to get the steering wheel straight, in fact it was in the Ford service manual. Try this: If the wheel is off to the left depending on how much, loosen the outer tie rod jams nuts on both sides, now there are adjusting flats on the rod after the jam nut and turn the rod up to take care of the swivel and then use a I believe 13mm open end wrench and rotate it up 1/4 turn, snug the jam nut and do the same to the other side. when you do this it adds toe on one side and takes it off on the other side so the steering wheel position will change without changing the toe specs. If the wheel is off to the right then you need to go down on the tie rod. I've given you a starting point if the adjustment is to much reduce it accordingly. I don't understand why the tech didn't make a caster swing to include those specs, but if you don't have a pull or drift issue while driving caster will not cause a wear issue . If you have any questions or concerns PM me and I'll assist you from there. [/QUOTE]
