Hmmm, following my axle rebuild my steering wheel is 180 degrees out!. I think its because the combination of bent arms, 2" castor correction bushes on a 3" lift and unmodified panhard rods meant that KAP had to adjust the steering wheel dramatically to get it straight. Now that I have proper 3" Corrected arms and a longer Panhard rod the whole this is completely askew!

It clearly needs the tracking sorting, but is there a tried and tested method for getting it all straight?

Yes Martin there is!!!!
On the front steering bar slacken off the 2 locknuts and turn the bar
And this will straighten the wheel without affecting the tracking!!!
This is how I did mine and had the tracking checked after and no change!!
