To center a rack you wind it to one end then wind back fully to the opposite end counting how many turns the splined shaft does. You have to be accurate, get a marker pen or something to mark with. To center it, wind it back from one end half the turns it took to go from one end to the other. For example - a rack that took 3.5 turns lock to lock, you would wind the shaft round 1.75 ( 1 and 3/4 ) turns from full lock.
