{"product_id":"fdf-steering-rack-centering-tool","title":"FDF - Steering Rack Centering Tool","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimplify your alignment process and ensure consistent steering with the FDF Steering Rack Centering Tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: \u003c\/strong\u003eYou must use OEM inner tie rod ends to use the centering tool.
