No, I had to loosen the bolts where the steering column bolts to the dash and slide it over. I also had to notch the firewall a little bit as well. It does not change the position of the steering wheel at all. Basically you're using an inch and a half spacer on the steering gear itself. After doing that I also took my brand new drag link and cut it in half. I reindexed it 180° so the the drag link was much more of a 90 degree angle to the steering knuckle rather than a 60 degree angle. Brought it back to more of factory steering geometry dimensions
