I replaced a sloppy steering box in my Victoria with another, rebuilt unit. Prior to this, the wheel seemed to be pretty much centered (although there was a lot of slop in the steering box so I am not sure how far it might have been out). Now the wheel is about an 1/8 of a turn out of center going down the road. There is no adjustment on the wheel/shaft as it has a flat spot in the splines so the wheel will only go on in one position. The pitman arm looks like it can be mounted in a different position, but only at a quarter difference (again it has flat spots in the splines). So how do you center the steering wheel - is the only way through the tie rod ends? Is the box itself not right? It was rebuilt by a professional. Has any one ground down the flat spot so the wheel can be put on in any position? Thanks for any help.
