Did you possibly put the centerlink or other parts in backwards. I did this once to a camaro after a complete resto of the undercarriage. Didn't take long to figure out once I took the car for a test ride. I got a little disorientated reassembling while on my back and put the centerlink in backwards....
Wow!!! I have the same problem with my '68. I had everything replaced. I even rebuilt the steering box and pump. My steering does not center well. I know the allignment is correct.
I will check the centerlink... What else can be backwards?
Thank you!!! It is driving me crazy!!!
