 |
|
| There does not appear to be a centering mark on the input shaft of my TRW steering box. I do not have an OEM box to compare to. Is there a way to do this accurately other than counting the turns lock-to-lock and then stopping halfway? |

That should get you close enough.

There's a tool. I have one. You may send it to me and I can mark it for you. It would be cheaper to just count the turns. Put the box in. Then pop the steering wheel off and push it back on so it is centered.
