Recently purchased a used steering box from a guy on eBay (Gussingh). As an aside, he even dropped the box by the house on his way to MS. Would have installed it for fifty bucks if the car had not already been in the shop and unavailable at the time. I say all this to say this particular eBay'er is honest and personable.

Anyway, since I"m mechanically challenged, I took the box into my mechanic while he already had the car and got it installed. While driving the car home I noticed the steering wheel alignment was at about 7 and 1 instead of the usual 9 and 3. Figured he'd just put the steering wheel back on crooked, but I pulled it and noticed the detente was at about 10 o'clock instead of the normal 12. I put the steering wheel back on at 9 and 3, but am curious if this misalignment is going to cause me problems down the road? There is no pull on the steering wheel and nothing seems amiss, but it's apparent the wheels were not straight when the box was installed. Should I take it back and have him re-do the installation, or should I just let it ride as is?

Thanks,
