    SWB steering rack fun

    I'm done with stripping and reundercoating (Wurth) the underside of my 68. Looked like a coal miner during the stripping phase of that nasty task!

    Anyways, I took the steering rack off by disconnecting at the bottom steering shaft bearing in the smugglers box.

    Am I correct that I just need to center the steering wheel and make sure the rack is at it's center "notch" and just bolt the whole mess back in?

    Yep, that's all there is to it. Chances are slim steering wheel will be centered once driving until alignment.

    I have no problem with the theory that all men are created equal.
    But after that moment you are on your own and nobody owes you a damn thing.
