Rack Tool - Works Great
The above link is for a steering rack centering tool on eBay. The starting bid is about $15 with $5 for shipping. It is much simpler to find a Nuts and Bolts Warehouse and buy a couple of hardened 1.5 x 50 mm bolts for $3.00 - then grind the ends into a slight point. You might check the work shop manual to verify the bolt size but I m pretty sure it's accurate - the centering tool I made works great with one to spare.
I'll check on the bolt information - I am missing a couple of the spec' numbers Michael

Roger at 928sRus also sells them for around $10, and I will bet the shipping will be less than $5.

Bob" I think I know who you are and I do appreciate the help and your enthusiasm,but your posting of my listings is inappropriate and I think gives people the impression that it is me and it is not.I was not a member of this forum until today when I received some e-mails about this and other posts by you.I prefer to do my own marketing and do not want to tick off the fine Pelican people.
I feel your intensions were good and I thank you for the effort but please stop and remove.Thanks, Ed |

Metric Bolt Spec's
Hey bwmac, Should’ve looked up the bolt spec’s used to make the steering rack centering tool. The complete information off the sales ticket reads “ metric hex bolt grade 10 fine, 12mm x 1.5 x 50mm”
Perhaps the difference in thread pitch 1.5 vs. 1.25 is because of the special application. Michael
