I think I have more turning to the left than to the right. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Someone can describe it better than I.

I pulled the column shaft out of the box and centered the box . Turn all the way to one side then count revolutions
to the other side. Then 1/2 of that back the other way is center. reinstalled my column shaft and pulled the steering wheel and centered it.
