New DT trackbar/ steering wheel issues
Well tonight i just installed my DT profab track. ill tell you what a PITA that was.
either way, its in, followed the directions to the T. and now I have a steering wheel issue. driving down the road straight, my steering wheel is now cocked completley 90 degs to the right. completley virtical now. I centered the axle as it said in the directions, thing drives great, pulls a wee bit to the left, alighnment should fix that.
im just wondering what in the world would cause the steering wheel to **** all the way that way. Im wondering if im WAY off center since the linkage is fixed to the axle and the steering box is fixed to the frame, thats the only thing i could think of..
im gonna give it another go head tomorow.... just wondering if anyone had a similar problem or could help me out

I'd give them a call. Sounds like the axle has moved to one side and your steering shifted to compensate. If axle is centered than maybe it wasn't before. Also, when you centered the axle was it on the ground with the trucks weight on it. Roll the truck forward and rearward after jacking to let suspension settle. Is one of your tires sticking out past the side of the truck more than the other?

thats probaly it. With the 2" of lift you had the axle was probably over to one side and you didnt notice it.
But if it is pulling after the install than my guess is that the axle isnt centered under your truck.
