Re: *Steering Wheel Centering*
Good enough. I've had to replace more than one customer's tie rod end and sleeve because they were so rusted together that they couldn't be broken loose.
Years ago I had a customer come in the shop where I was doing alignments who said his car pulled to the right. I put the car on the rack and checked it and the alignment and toe were spot on and it was obvious that someone had just replaced a number of parts. Took it out for a test drive and it drove straight as an arrow with my hands off the wheel. Went back and asked the customer when it pulled and we went out on a test drive and he says that "when you hold the wheel straight it pulls to the right. The other shop had done everything right but hadn't centered the wheel.
