Hello y'all! Quick steering column question. Would it be possible for someone to have previously installed the steering column in my 97 XLT, upside down? Or could I have done something that would make ot appear that way? I'm working on a "slight" rebuild on the front end of it and after installing and centering the new pitman arm and center link, BAM! Upside down steering wheel. I turned the steering wheel on direction, counted turns in the return trip, and came back half way. Upside down! Hmmm? Did it again a few more times, same results! Aaagh! I've got quite a bit of wabble in the steering (about 1.5 to 2 inches ish) at the wheel, so I've been looking at the "coupler?" under the hood/just past the firewall. Seems slightly loose, but not enough (in my opinion) to explain all of the slop. So now with this upside down steering, I'm wondering if there may be a connection. As always, any thoughts or ideas are appreciated!
