Left outer tie rod end is replaced and now my steering wheel is off?

In order to drive straight the top of the wheel is pointing between the 12 and the 11 and that is when there's no space between the outer tie rod end and the nut should i create some space between them? 2000 honda civic dx

Hi so you should have taken it to a car dealer to do the work. So go buy a Haynes workshop manual for your make and model of car. So you can proceed.
