Left but straight
After wheeling, steering wheel 1/4 to the left. Smooth,no noise or anything odd when turning wheel. It drives straight too. Any good ideas appreciated

Use a 15 mm socket to fix. Go under the car and look at the steering system from the power steering system to the axle. On the diagnol tube there is a sleeve. Loosen the bolts and turn left or right to fix. I can't remember off the top of my head which direction helps you. You will have to do it a few times to get it spot on.

Thanks for the ideas. Drag link looks fine. Tie rod has slight bend, but it's been that way a year or so. If rod bent little more, I don't see how it could move pit arm enough to make 1/4 turn in wheel. I can't tel by looking, but maybe the link or end moved in the sleeve. I yanked left & right, everything's tight. After snow melts, I might pull end & sleeve to check threads. Any other ideas ? THANK YOU!

it is possible that it slipped in the sleeve. i would get to it asap, steering is a serious safety issue.
