Front Suspension Rebuild Issues

These are all great points from everyone. I will go through all of the recommendations everyone has given and hopefully I will get to a better point. I researched all of the parts that were purchased for the car, and they all were correct. I'll need to try and ensure the steering box is centered, before I start making the adjustments.
..........and on that note.........assuming the parts for the wheel/ column/ coupler are as they should be, and are not modified, IE someone has not filed out the master spline, there is "some" possibility that the wheel will end up upside down when the box is centered. If you did not change anything and it was OK previously, then don't worry. What can happen is, if you take the flex coupler apart and accidently get it slid back together 1/2 turn "off" then the steering wheel will be wrong side up at center
