Removed rack to change the seals that were leaking. I marked the steering rack joint that attaches to the steering arm which connects to steering. When I removed the rack, I forgot, and I removed the whole gear from the pinion rather than just the top part held by two bolts. So, when I installed it back on while outside of the car am sure the mark is now off. Installed everything and tried to match the mark on rack to the joint but the steering was off, so I turned it by eyeballing it and installed it. Steering was off a tooth still after driving it. Removed the steering u joint from up where it holds to the steering wheel and from the bottom where it attaches to the rack. I tried to straighten everything by adjusting it and now when I drive it is off to the other side and if I turn just slightly to the right the traction starts to flash and it feels like a bind. I messed up big time, not sure if a new rack would solve it or if they can align it now. And I put new tires on it.
