I've gone off-road the last two Sundays. Now when I drive on a straight line, my steering wheel is at 2 o'clock. How do I get it to line up? | ||

Sounds like you might have bent your drag link, which would shorten it, causing the steering wheel to point to the right when driving straight. If that's the case, you could try to straighten it - it's the rod at the front from the steering arm to the wheel - or replace it with a straight one. | ||

Thats exactly the problem just had the same thing LR dealer wants to to buy a new drag link built to army specs, worth considering | ||

L/R wants $200 for the part. Its just a damn tube!! I spoke to Eric at A/B. Their price is $38 (and they call it a cross rod) + $55 for the tool that will take it off without breaking the rubber boots around the ball joints... looks like AB is getting my order | ||

"$55 for the tool that will take it off without breaking the rubber boots around " Damn - just a large hammer will do! - a few sharp raps on the knuckle will free the tie rod end. Bill | ||
