Is there any way to correct the wheel alignment on a Chevy 2500. My steering wheel is off to the right a bit.


Thanks

That's part of a front end alignment. There is an adjustment for that, but I suggest you tell your stealer, since they'll probably put it on an alignment rack to do it, they can verify everything else while it's there.

Where is the adjustment? I don't want to take it to the dealer, to much stuff will have to come off before going in there.

Lengthen the pasender tie-rod and shorten the driver side tie-rod by the exact same amount. Test drives will allow you to get just the right amount of adjustment.


Of course this is assuming that you toe in is correct, and the steering wheel is the only thing that is wrong. If the toe-in is also correct, it gets just a little more complicated.

i had the same problem, its a fairly easy fix in theory, but can be a pain in the a$$ at the same time. Amric is right, you'll have to undo your tirod ends from each side and turn the right side out, and bring the left side in, make sure you do it the same amount or it will screw up your toe, for reference i run an 1/8in toe for my 33's, wouldnt hurt to check yours while the tierods are undone.
