This is an easy adjustment once its on the alignment rack IF the tech is competent. You can say leave the toe as is, just center the wheel. Or better get latest specs from this site.

Sorry, that makes no sense, if you take it lose from the steering box and turn the steering shaft to center the wheel it is completely loose from the steering box and has no effect on it...

You've not explained how it is "bubba" if you completely isolate the steering shaft from the steering box.

EDIT: Let me see if I can explain it for the mentally handicapped. So if you remove your steering column and there is nothing wrong with your alignment, then when you put the steering column back in the car you don't screw with the tie rods to get your wheel straight do you? No, when you connect the steering shaft to the steering box you ensure the wheel is straight then. How will that effect your turning radius?

I did't say anything about the removing the steering wheel! You need to learn to read...

It was an example, I have at least made an attempt to tell you my train of thought, you have only told me I'm wrong and have not explained yourself. You're wasting me time, it's like trying to talk to a brick wall that already knows everything...
