Default Re: Centered steering wheel?

The steering wheel itself is not centered,like a modern car.On setup you are supposed to put the keyway in a certain position,which is supposed to put the hourglass worm in the correct position for straight ahead.There is something of a master spline on the shaft where the worm presses on,but I don't think I've ever found the worm to be in the exact correct position with the keyway where it says to put it.I always put the worm to where it needs to be,and start adjustments from there.It you try to center the wheel the straight ahead position could have the worm a little to the right or left,that leaves your straight ahead position with slop..I have four A's,none of the steering wheels are in the same positions when straight.I think Marshall has the best idea,if it bothers you file in a new keyway where you like it.Centering of the worm is what is important,not the wheel spokes.
