| back to the rack and find the center. 2 3/4 turns lock to lock on an NA and 2 1/4 turns on a TT. Split the difference, e.g., from full lock one and three eighths turns back; and witness mark your rack spline at the mechanical center of the rack. Next insure the tie rod ends are both screwed on approximately the same number of turns. This means when you tie rod ends are inserted into the hubs, and the rack is centered, your toe out will hypothetically at zero. Then find the flat on the column shaft and insure it's horizontal flat to the floor on the bottom side of the spline. Install the knuckle with the column bolt in line with machined flat; slide it up, then slip it over the rack splined shaft. Use some anti-seize for the next guy. The last step is to insure the steering wheel is straight. A few degrees off to the left or right can be compensated with tie rod adjustment; but if its like 90's off, you'll need to pull the steering wheel and realign it on the splines. To do that you'll require a special safety torx bit for the air bag.
