Tie-Rod adjustment etc.
« on: June 15, 2011, 12:30:19 PM »
On a 66 C-Code car, with power steering and all factory OEM components,
Is the Idler arm suppose to be parallel to the car centerline when the steering wheel is centered?

Usually, yes.  Check the shop manual or with your favorite local alignment shop.
