Position the truck on flat ground with the wheels pointed straight ahead.
Loosen the clamps on both track rod ends, then take a pipe wrench (using a
rag to protect the track rod), and turn the track rod in the direction that
moves the steering wheel in the direction you want to go. Once centered,
tighten the track rod end clamps. Since the ends have opposing threads,
they move in proportion to one-another, preserving your alignment
adjustment.

My Disco was in for an alignment yesterday (tough winter, lots o'
potholes). Took the mechanic quite a while (and lots of heat) to get
everything sorted. Finally got it done and I left. While driving
back, I noticed my steering wheel is just slightly off center. I
seem to recall some folks here having a simple way to re-center
without a trip back to the shop. Could someone refresh my memory?
Did it have to do with drag links or something? Thanks.
