Default Purchased Steeroids - Have questions.....

Greetings All. I just ordered Steeroids, and am sure I can install without any problems, however, I've got a couple of questions: 1-) did you need to "re-center" the steering wheel? I'm thinking that if I start with the wheel straight-up, I shouldn't need to fool with it. 2-) Any suggestions on setting-up the 2 u-joints and shaft? I have a BB with Hookers.

Any comments are welcome and appreciated.

I managed to leave everything centered...and even get away without an alignment (although I should have one done). It's easier than it looks. Just be patient...

Pull your driver's side header. It'll make things go much smoother!
