theres a bracket that has a rod threaded through it on both sides... coming from the pitman arm... loosen the 2 clamps and rotate it till your steering is right... mine came loose and ALMOST let go (would have lost steering!!!) thought it was steering box gears but wasnt... so this will fix ur problem and ont throw the front end out of wack...

yeah i dont know of this being true... i worked at a dealer and we never did this... the roads have a slight lean to the right for water drainage... this causes cars to go right new or old... we always aligned them alittle left to make up for this... still in green but more left then right...

you can straighten your steering wheel in like 2 min. I did mine yesterday because it looked like i was going left all the time after my new axle.

So after I do that I assume it's a good thing to check every now and then?

not a prob... as long as you dont sit inside and play video games all day then you should be strong enough to get them tight...

That is correct. The right side is 2 degrees different than the left. That is why you would want off set ball joints.
