Fellas, would much appreciate your expertise on my problem.
Took me truck apart at the weekend to give it a good MOT for the weekend = problem!
I believed I put it back together as good as new, until I switched the power to on... From what I remember, when turning left to right the wheels turned much more of angle than what they do now.
If ya would, picture this, from top view? (tried taking a few pics but it didn't really show the problem)
1. The front left wheel turns alot further than the right wheel - To the left
2. The front left wheel turns alot more than the right wheel - To the right
Obviously this would cause havok when using, I was hoping that there would be some sort of measurement or process to get the wheel alligned correctly without taking it to the LHS?
HELP???

That is normal. This is called "ackerman effect". Please google it for more information but I know on the the ST2 it has a TON of ackerman built into it because of the 4wd system.
Look up "ackerman affect" on google for a detailed explanation of ackerman.
