[QUOTE="JC-RH, post: 16690464, member: 200491"] I have been having a creaking noise coming from my front end when I turn the wheel. After inspecting it, it turns out my car already had the MM solid aluminum bushings kit along with polyurethane front bushings. However, they didn’t have any grease on them. While on jack stands (and wheels in the air), I undid the bolts, popped everything off, greased everything, and reinstalled everything back together. I took it for a drive, and no more creaking! But now my steering wheel is about 10 degrees crooked when going straight. I’m confused bc I never disconnected the steering wheel shaft or loosened anything in that area. I have read that others (with different model cars) say that the spline could be 1-2 off the original spot. What is the best way to realign this? Do I need to loosen everything, pull the rack forward, have someone hold the steering wheel in place, and then push the rack back into position? Planning on doing this in the next few hours. [/QUOTE]
