Re centering the steering wheel: In other cars I've worked on, the center tooth on the steering rack or quadrant is just a little bigger than the rest of the teeth. This takes up slack and gives tight steering when the steering wheel is centered, while allowing a little tooth clearance when off center to take friction out of the steering, to enable the steering to return to center easily.
Do Porsche steering racks work this way too? I seem to recall reading somewhere that they do, but can't find the reference.
If so, then you always want to center the steering wheel in the middle of the steering travel, or it will be off from that center tooth.
