71 duster front end help

Are you trying to do this with or without the tires on the ground and weight on the car?

Did you set the ride height?

And you MUST "jostle" the front suspension to settle it

Do NOT center the wheel by moving it. The box has a "high spot" and is designed to "run" straight that way Isn't the wheel "keyed" by a master spline?

A side note---if you had the steering shaft coupler apart, you can get it 1/2 turn off, so the wheel will be pointing "down" instead of "up"
