Thanks DB. I'll give that number to the alignment guy. I should be close to where it was before removal as I marked the threads.



This may help those in re-installing the steering rack:

I installed my new rack boots with the rack on the workbench. I centered the rack on the bench and noted the orientation of the steering shaft mounting hub on the rack.

To install the rack back into the car I left the tie rods ends and the lower steering shaft off and slid it in from the passenger side. I had it in and secured in less than 10 minutes.
