Turn signal self cancel issue

What do I win? :P Yeah, you would adjust the tie rods to get the alignment back where it should be. It looks like the steering wheel adjustment is easy, I would drive the car to the alignment place and do it in their parking lot. Then you won't mess up your tires driving there and you don't have to try and guess to a half ways decent alignment to get there on.

You can have some free parts from my garage sale if you want, check my thread. I'll cover shipping.
I'll just drive to the alignment shop with my wheel badly to the left, and have them straighten it out there. I had no idea the tie rod ends had that much adjustment, good to know.

Dude it's just setup for NASCAR racing that's all!

Fukin A. At the alignment shop, can't adjust that much, back to turning them off myself.

Just a random thought, but hasn't there been quite a bit of half-assed work you've found on this car?

Why can't they correct it? Do your tie rod ends have that little thread?

My guess is the steering shaft needs to actually be disconnected from the steering rack. Center the tie-rods, center the steering wheel, reconnect shaft, and perform alignment.

If that is the case then the rack has been out before or the steering column came out. I would guess the rack. Maybe a small accident while racing?

There are a lot of unknows about the car, but I knew what I was getting into. I might decide to tackle the steering thing this winter. On the plus side while at the alignment shop I found out it has an adjustable swaybar with 4 or 5 settings.

Yea I was told the rear clam was replaced from being cracked while racing, but nothing about the front end.

LOL!

This is also my guess. You should be able to correct an alignment problem with the tie rods attached around up to .50 of a degree. Anything more, and I'd disconnect the wheel and start from scratch.
