Steering Rack, Checking Mechanical Center Position: Notes

The markings for the steering rack center position are only present on vehicles with hydraulic power steering.

Centering the steering is meant only for "aligning" the steering for subsequent work.

The steering wheel center position is determined exactly via the steering angle with the help of the alignment computer.

If a steering wheel fault is determined when setting the center position of the steering, then check the steering and suspension for damage or deformations and replace any damaged components. Check the tie rod symmetry as well, refer to MAXIMUM STEERING ANGLE, CHECKING .
