    Hi Carl. No, I haven't centered the steering rack. I have this nice set of instructions bookmarked by "karlos":

    I think I will take your suggestion and put it high on my To Do list. I'm not sure what you mean by "metal clamps are still on your rubber boots on your steering rack". Are those removed during the centering process? Although the instructions above are good, I may reach out to you with a PM on this topic.

    Thanks for your input!

    Yup, you will have to remove those clamps... Many are heavy duty zip ties, you will most likely find this is the easiest way to replace those when you are doing this adjustment. The instruction that you have are very detailed and the ones that I used as well.
