The rack was replaced on my car before I bought it.. it turns farther left than right.. can I center it by unbolting the yolk under the dash and moving the rack from outside? I can guess the alignment in after.. I got the rack centered from under the dash and at the top of the rack. Now I do not have cruise or horn.. And my airbag light is flashing... I checked all the plugs in and around steering column and found nothing loose. All fuses are good as well. Used OBDII program on laptop and it shows a P1564 also. Any ideas as to what I should check? Your answers have been spot on. Thank you....
Yes you possibly can ( depends on the room available.)
I would do the centring at the top of the rack and pinion as this is where a multi spline is that will allow for correct centring.
when you get the shaft off the box
firstly turn the rack from lock to lock ( wheels of the ground) and position the shaft at the midpoint of the turns counted fro left to right
next with the steering wheel place it in the straight ahead position
put the shaft back on the rack and tighten up the lock bolt
First center the rack, turn the steering to the left lock mark position, turn to right lock, count turns , half turns , set steering wheel to this position, rack is now in center position, undo steering shaft at the steering rack , center steering wheel and refit shaft to rack.
