Hey guys
Im in the process of changing out my front subframe and need a write up or a daigram on how to properly set up the rack and pinion with the sterring wheel so that it wont give me weird turning angles.
Any help/ideas/hints are greatly apreciated.
Thanks

Just get it centered as much as possible, install outer tie rods with an equal number of turns on both sides, connect the steering column with wheel straight, then take the car for alignment. The alignment tech should get the wheels perfectly centered, and then you can disconnect and reconnect the steering column if needed to get the steering wheel centered.
That's how I did it when I replaced my steering rack.

Why did you change youres out. Im doing it because i tink its bent and ive hit curbs on both sides so decided to change it out. Plus the pasenger side was getting about an inch and a half of positive camber.
