Yeah, I have already tried pulling it and reinstalling. like I said in the earlier post, it is about 5 degrees off. Not far enough to go on the next set of splines, but too far off to align the truck. I would run out of threads on one side with the tie rods.
I did get it from autozone. I went to Napa today though and the splines are exactly the same. I may try one more since I have heard this does happen. I wish I still had the old one. Sold the whole thing as a unit. Was wanting to compare that and the center link. Anyone know if the manual steering center link is same length as the power steering one?
