    Shouldve drilled out the hole for the center pin instead

    Nope taking the head off the center pin that wait for it... centers the axle on the sprinkler gs makes so much more sense. The steering wheel being off doesn't mean the axle isnt sitting straight, nope no way that has anything to do with it...

    Had some Kahlua with your coffer? Hahahaha.

    I think I agree. Adjusting the wheel is a band-aid to a bigger issue.

    Well I can't go back now, besides it's an easy fix if I wanted to buy some new leaf springs in the future. Everything is riding straight and there isn't any grinding or wobbles or anything so I'll let it be for now. Lesson learned.

    You know, if it works and there's no obvious issues... I say screw it haha. I've done some stuff on my truck purely in the interest of "gud enuff" that I can appreciate someone else making things work.

    good enough is exactly what I was thinking. Sometimes being resourceful is good, sometimes not so much. I guess I would say I ended up in the middle somewhere on this one. At least I got some good experience using an angle grinder :lol:
