Make careful obsrvations and mark the relationship between the tie rods and
steering arms so you can get your toe-in at least close. Probably best to
do a wheel alighnment afterwards.
You'll need to drop the column so make sure you put the correct thick
spacing washers on the 3 bolts that attach the column up by the dash in the
same locations on reassemby. You should note the positions of all the
column hardware for that matter.
