Default Steering wheel quick Qn '91

Hi,

91 LS400 170K. My steering is about 10 degrees off when driving straight, but the car does not pull in either direction or wander too much. I never had alignment done because the car drives straight. What do you think?

Also I was gonna attempt to install front mounts. Will I need to take off the trans mount when i raise the engine?

Thanks a lot

Adjusting the steering wheel is part of the alignment procedure.

you have to do more than just remove the trans mount, you have to take a lot of stuff off and support the motor properly.

So i take it I will need to do an alignment to put the steering wheel back straight?

And will also need to remove trans mount in addition to the other stuff to change engine mounts? (I did read the tutorial but it didn't mention that)

One more Qn: Since I can't seem to reach the PS pump IC valve from bottom or top, will I have to remove the whole pump? and disconnect High pressure hose?

Thanks again I really appreciate the help
