[T2] Left Tie Rod 72 Type 2

[c.dreike]

Take a look at your Drag Link and the Pittman Arm. The drag link will 
allow you to adjust the steering wheel position. Of course there are 
ball joints at each end and you will need to pop out one or the other to 
rotate the arm. If you cannot obtain enough adjustment with the drag 
link, the take a very close look at your Pittman Arm and steering gear 
shaft. Should be a hash mark on the arm and on the steering gear shaft. 
The marks should be lined up.

Cheers,
Chris
