I can refit the wheel OK, but does any special consideration need to be given to indicator cancelling lugs and any other equipment which may be affected? Thanks in anticipation GD   Bill Bettridge (Billb) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Billb Post Number: 1028 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Monday, September 08, 2003 - 07:31 pm:    Don't mess with the steering wheel! To adjust centering of the wheel - you adjust the drag link (link in front of the axle attached to the steering drop arm). Simple loosen both clamps and spin drag link until wheel centers. Since you just put in ball joints, it should spin easily and if you used LOTS of anti-seize, it will do so for quite some time.
