You didn't have the steering box centered before installing it.

It's an easy fix. Just make right hand turn...

I thought I had it centered. Disconnected drag link turned the wheel all the way and then the steering too in same direction. Easier than trying to center. Hooked the drag in that position and fixed! Just came back from alignment and had them check the steering too! Ready for our Johnson Valley run next weekend !
