Steering Wheel adjust & Horn
91YJ, 4.0L
Can someone remind me how to recenter the steering wheel? I just installed
a new 4" lift and now the steering wheel is not centered. I seem to
remember there is a simple adjustment done on the steering likage that will
recenter it. I tried to pop of the steering wheel and reposition it to
center. That won't work because it only goes on one way due to the horn
plunger position. Speaking of which -- can someone tell me what is the
correct sequence of install of the horn switch plunger, spring and bushing.
While removing the steering wheel the plunger and spring popped out and I
can't seem to get is back together in the right sequence. No matter how I
try, the horn will stay on when reconnecting the battery. This thing is
driving me nuts.
Thank for your replies.
and Bill appreciate as always any links to the above issues.

Re: Steering Wheel adjust & Horn
There is a sleeve with 2 bolts you loosen to turn on the steering
linkage just near the steering box that is used for setting the wheel
straight. It is called the drag link.
Just a heads up, I would take it and off road it good before setting the
steering wheel unless you don't mind doing it twice. Once it bounce
settles the springs, the steering wheel will clock off again.
Horn... LOL! Good freaking luck. My guess is you have the plate
upside down or inside out is a better word. It goes on backward to what
'looks' right. I had the same issue with mine, it came to me that way,
but got it finally.

It's centered by rotating the 5" long sleeve located on the drag link. Go
