Standard alignment procedures typically involve adjusting the tie rods without centering the steering rack. While this allows for uniform thread exposure on the rack, it is more time-consuming for the technician. If the rack is off-center when adjusting the tie rods, the steering will not turn equally in both directions, resulting in uneven turning radii. Centering the steering rack also prevents handling issues such as uneven bump steer or inconsistent steering resistance.
The steering rack centering tool allows you to ensure the rack is centered every time you perform an alignment. This saves time during quick checks after a day at the track or on the street. Once the rack is centered during each alignment, the steering wheel remains in the same position, eliminating the need for readjustment. Without this tool, the steering rack shifts every time the tie rods are adjusted, requiring you to recheck all alignment settings and reset your alignment equipment.
Simplify your alignment process and ensure consistent steering with the FDF Steering Rack Centering Tool.
Note: You must use OEM inner tie rod ends to use the centering tool. A flat surface is required to properly center the tool.

Before You Order
〇 Regarding Import Duties and Taxes
At Shaftoya Shopping Site, we cover the import consumption tax incurred at the time of import on your behalf, so there will be no additional charges beyond the total amount paid at checkout.
〇Confirmation of Compatibility
Our entire product database is based on North American vehicle specifications (USDM). Please confirm compatibility with Japanese domestic vehicles (JDM) before placing your order. (If you are unsure whether a listed product is compatible with your vehicle, please feel free to contact us. Our support team will be happy to investigate for you.)
If you place an order without confirming compatibility, we cannot accept returns due to incompatibility.
Please note that even if items are sorted by year, manufacturer, and model using the tabs on our homepage, it does not guarantee that they will fit Japanese market vehicles without modification.
All products have been translated into Japanese using translation software. As there may be confusing expressions, please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.
○ Regarding Shipping
Shipping costs are paid at the time of payment. Estimates for shipping can be calculated automatically by entering your shipping address on the checkout page. For large items such as body parts, there may occasionally be a significant discrepancy between the automatically calculated shipping cost and the actual cost. In such cases, we will contact you individually via email.
Essentially, all products are shipped internationally from our US warehouse. Unlike domestic Japanese shipping, international shipping takes about 7 to 14 days, so please allow yourself plenty of time when ordering. If you are in a hurry, please contact us in advance to check delivery times. Note that all products are transported by air freight; they are not shipped by sea freight.
○ Regarding Japanese Vehicle Inspection (Shaken) Compatibility
Essentially, all products we handle are designed and manufactured outside of Japan. Please note that they are not compliant with "Japanese Vehicle Inspection (Shaken) standards," and we cannot provide strength evaluation reports for these purposes. Therefore, all parts are sold for "track, private property, and off-road use only," and installation and usage are at your own risk.
○ Regarding Warranty
Please check the contents of your order as soon as it arrives. Because all products are shipped internationally from outside Japan, there may be instances of shipping damage to packaging or products. Please understand that we will only provide returns, refunds, or exchanges for products with shipping damage, defects, or incorrect items if you contact us within 7 days of receipt. Additionally, for products sold through our company, all warranty-related support will be handled "exclusively through us." We do not provide support through other companies or distributors within Japan.
