So a little background. I took my power steering rack off and had to put it back in. Also just installed new tie rod ends and upper control arm camber kit.
When I was putting the steering rack in I had moved the driver side arm in on accident. I dont know how much to move it in and out to get back to normal. The car obviously needs a alignment since I replaced the tie rod ends and upper camber kit. I read a post on rebuilding the rack and he said to take the boot off and measure the distance on each arm. I dont want to take the boot off since it a pain.
So im not sure if a alignment would fix this issue because the car drives straight. Can I undo the tie rod ends make the steering wheel straight and put them back on? Like I said the driver side rack arm is not where it was when it came off.
I can undo tie rod ends and straighten wheel and put them back on?
I can take off the steering wheel and reinstall it straight?
Or is there a correct way to do this since I messed up the rack install?
