i put my new lift on today, and mine is doin the same thing, the wheel is a half turn to the right

but i'm also getting a terrible shimmy/wobble, but it only happens on a bumpy road, or when i hit a bump it gets so bad i have to come to a stop, but when i start off again its fine till i hit another bump

I recentered my steering wheel after my brother and I installed the lift. Did a 1/2 turn at a time until I did not have to hold my wheel to the left to get it to drive straight. Very easy to get to and adjust.

Re-Centering did fix that problem. I had already done it but I took it a little bit too far to the left when I did it. If you dont get it dead nuts it wont work.

Usually takes 2 or 3 tries, test drive , come back, check again. I tie a piece of orange flagging tape to the center of my steering wheel, makes it easier to see when adjusting.

How can a Procal help to get the steering centered ? Didn't know that..

It has a wheel centering application using your turn signals to let you know which way to turn to center wheel.

I'm still waiting for the 2010 flashpaqs.. do you know if Superchips have that kind of application ? :thinking:

( Yes my steering is centered... just wondering... )

Dunno, don't have one, I have a procal. Used the orange tape method before I got it.

I had the same problem this weekend. Just follow this link. You can recenter the steering wheel with a 15 mm wrench or socket in about 2 minutes.
