Steering wheel off center after dropping steering rack
 
I had to drop my steering rack while adjusting the timing after replacing my cylinder head. And now my stearing wheel is at the 10 o'clock position when driving straight instead of the 12 o'clock position. All I did was undo the 4 bolts and pull it down. Then put it back I don't know what I did to make it off center. I also dropped the front differential tho I doubt it has anything to do with the steering.

How do I fix this? I know I could get an alinment however I should be able to fix it myself since I messed it up my self.

I'm assuming you didn't mark the rack location before you dropped it and now it is off a little left to right. You could always trial and error it, by marking the rack to something that won't move (like that big round bar in front of it) and moving it very slightly to the right. Reattach and see if that centered it back up.

The rack can only bolt on in one place. It has to solid not moving mounts on the drivers side. The passenger side has a moving mount but I wouldn't think I could effect anything since the drivers side can't move

Plenty of posts on the passenger side movement. Best to take it for an alignment and have them fix it.
