Disconnect your pitman arm from drag link, spin steering wheel all the way to either left or right, then go all the way back the other way until it stops, counting exactly the number of turns to complete.

Take this number of turns, divide by 2 and spin your wheel exactly this number of turns from your answer. This places your steering box on exact top center,,,,where it must be when traveling straight ahead down the road.

Where is your steering wheel now clocked,,,,likely not where it should be for driving straight ahead.

Can you directly insert drag link bolt dead center into your pitman arm now,,,I doubt it.

If you fail both of these tests, get back to us. You have problems that a shim might help.

Your steering wheel if all is kopecetic should have the same number of turns going left or right before hitting steering box internal stop if straight ahead is too center,,,where it should be.

Of course,,,if you do all of the above correctly you may be unable to set proper toe because of limitations of your tie rod end adjustment capabilities.

If that is the case, here too get back to us,,,you may need a shim.


Another test if you are using the Bergman supplied adapter/coupler. If all is perfectly geometrically installed, the lock screw that affixes the coupler to steering box shaft will be pointed directly at the chassis in 9 O'clock position when wheels are dead ahead. If not you have issue(s).
