964 Steering wheel centering
I would like to have your feedback on the subject .
When the steering wheel column is disconnected at the top of the rack and at the end of the steering shaft leaving the lower joint out and not having marked on how they came off.
Is the following idea correct .
Reconnect all , check the rack for center and adjust the steering wheel to reflect the center position of the rack .
I may look trivial but it keeps my mind buzzy since the maintenance manual does mention the need to mark them .

When I re aligned my steering after installing a new steering rack, I got the front wheels set straight ahead,
then adjusted the steering wheel with the interior splines. A spline or to in either direction, makes a difference. You may have to redo it a few times to get it right.

The plastic nut, actually a threaded plug, can be removed to insert a centering tool used during wheel alignment. The tool, number 916 and p/n 000.721.911.60, is basically a pointy headed bolt that inserts into a dimple in the rack's rod,
