What if both sides are recessed? Do you take both recessed measurements and make them equal?

Thanks for the tutorial. Are Nissan racks not centered from the factory? I'm wondering why there are two different sizes of spacer in your kit..

I just installed a new rack on my camry but didnt center the rack before installing. If i take the boots off the inner tie rods and do the measurements will i be able to center the rack this way. For the rack to be centered the measurements have to be the same on each side correct? Or do i have to take the whole rack out and center it? Any help would be very much appreciated.

It can be done by removing the boots.

Sorry for the dumb question but what if in the first place my steering rack is not centered? I leave it centered and then i remove the steering wheel and correct it and thats it?

Loosen steering joint, center the wheels then the steering wheel and tighten

The pinion was prolly put in with rack off center. Was it a remanufactured rack?

Pointless gadgets to Correct a Very minor proble. Better 'fixed' By simply repositioning the UJ to the rack pinio. Free AND Much easier as well as the mechanically superior solution.
