Lower steering UJ

So I’ve just changed mine as occasionally it would be a little stiff.

Now the wheel is slightly out, maybe ten degrees or so, any idea how this would be being as there’s nothing to really align when fitting?

I’m wondering if there’s a chance the new part could have a slightly different angle and causing it.

where did you get the lower column? I replaced lower column with cheaper one from ebay and to my surprise it cause large amount of play in steering

swapped back to genuine part and all is back to sharp steering again but had a few scary days

is it play due to lower steering column? or suspension steering rack bits?
