I've read everything I could by the various authors on the forum on centering the steering box. Since I am about to take out the steering shaft in order to replace the boots and service the CV joint, I figured now is the time. Here is my current situation:
With the bolt holding the shaft to the box (roughly) parallel with the box cover per all the instructions, my steering wheel is 90 degrees to the right. The relay arm and link on the tie rod are not parallel with the frame, but to the right some.
The coach goes down the road straight with the center of the steering wheel at about 1 o'clock. I have not yet removed the wheel to check the alignment marks on the wheel/steering wheel hub.
I do not have an adjustable drag link. It is a solid member.
So I'm thinking I need to confirm the steering wheel is aligned to the hub properly, get the steering shaft in the correct position and lock down the steering wheel so it doesn't move, and then move the tie rod adjusters to get the wheels straight with the coach.
Am I correct so far?
I plan on making Ken Henderson's alignment tools to do a toe in adjustment once I get the wheels close to right.
Any other suggestions?
Oh, and is there a way to confirm that I have an original TZE steering box, i.e., some kind of identifier on the box itself?
Thanks so much!
