I installed an inner tie rod today and counted the amount of turns when I removed the outer tie rod of course (11 turns off, and 11 back on again, passenger side) put it all back together and now the steering wheel is off center. Car does not pull, no squealing tires, let go of wheel, it tracks straight, but the steering wheel is no longer straight across.
I am aware that this method (of counting turns when re-installing the outer tie rod is not 100% accurate, but don't understand why) I did not lay old on top of new inner tie rod to be sure they are exactly the same length, but assumed they were. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I guess I should get the fron end aligned?
FYI no flats on the Orig. inner tie rod where it meets rack, fun getting it off!!
