Steering issue
The symptom My Steering wheel has gotten rotated almost 180 degrees. Drives straight when steering wheel is off. Turns left with wheel in correct position.
I have checked Power steering fluid.
inspected all of the front end components that I can think of and all looks normal.
Checked the steering shaft and u joints. All looks good. No extra play in steering just the Steering wheel is no longer in the correct position.
When it happened un sure.
On our last off road ride I got hung up on a big log. got pulled off of that and then shortly switched rides with a buddy. He noticed it when he got in to drive. I noticed as soon as I got back in as well. Hard to say exactly when it happened because the trails were really never straight for a while. except I know it happened sometime during the ride.
It doesn't bother me that it is like this but, I know something has to be wrong for this to have happened. Any Ideas?

I may have figured it out. The drag link may have gotten off. I will check that tomorrow. I guess worst case this will be a fix for someone else haha.
