Trying to finish the steering rack install...can't get the steering shaft linkage hooked up. I have the wheels straight and the steering wheel hasn't budged, I secured it from the start. There's a notch on the input shaft on the steering rack that faces down. Where should that notch be? The rack is allegedly centered from the factory (Napa reman). I did a quick measurement and it seems like there's more "rack" sticking out of the passenger side than drivers side.


Thanks so much to anyone that can help out!

I've installed hundreds of racks and have yet to see one that was actually centered from the store.

Best way to to count turns and from 1 lock turun half the number and you are centered.

How would I do that with the steering wheel not connected? Can I just turn the wheels till the shaft and linkage line up right? Or until the rack measures even on each side?

Got it. Indentation on rack shaft should face passenger side. Thanks for the help!
