You can adjust back with a wrench and about 5 min of time

Did you notice it on the way there? Or was it okay on the way, and you bent something while wheeling?

That's what happened to me. Something is slightly bent in my drag link. Steering wheel was about 1/4 of a turn off when driving home

Yesterday I changed both front axle u joints. Drivers side needle bearings were either broken or ground to powder, definitely overdue for changing.

Then driving home last night my headlights started flickering on and off. Not fun while driving home in the dark. Seems to be the headlights and dash lights. Tail lights not affected. Volt gauge looks good. As soon as it quits raining today I am going out to start trouble shooting.

I'll bet your headlight switch is overheating due to the resistance in the factory wiring. Get a supplemental harness and you should be fine. And, your lights will be about 40% brighter.

I wish I had something cool to write on this thread every day.
All I did today is take a few pictures of my front tow points for an other thread.

The loops are from an old navy chain (about 6 feet long) I found. The links are about 3/4" thick. Cut the end of the loop and they make the best U shape anchor point. they are unbreakable... Just a little fat for some smaller D-rings

The black is just shadows.. hard to take good pictures with phone and flashlight.
