Elantra 1992: reinstalling the power steering gear box

May 24, 2007 1 Replies

I think it will not be too difficult to reinstall it, but...



What is the easiest way to make sure the steering wheel is centered when the wheels are straight?



Is it to align the wheels, then remove the steering wheel, center it, and put it back?



Thank you very much for your help.


Do your best to center the rack beforehand. Using a pair of locking pliers on the splines (with something covering the splines to protect them), count the number of turns and try to determine the halfway point. Then reattach the coupler while the steering wheel is centered. If the steering wheel is off center when done, then make the final adjustment by removing the wheel and reinstalling.
