Steering rack (centering) 200

Just did this today on mine. I measured the mounting holes - on mine almost 12" exactly between mounting holes. Center of the rack is halfway between those. So I measured 6" from driver's side rack mounting holes and marked the center of the rack. I then turned the pinion until measurement from the center of the rack to each tie rod end was the same (right around 23.25" as I recall). Once the rack was centered, I centered the steering wheel using a bungee wrapped around the seat slide bar.

Steering wheel centered, rack centered - then set up a string on jackstands parallel to back wheel. Use that to set toe. I put it at zero -- I'll recheck/re-adjust after I've driven it a bit.
