During regular alignment work, adjustments are made from the tie rods without first centering the steering rack. This ensures even lengths of the rack are exposed but makes the process more time-consuming for the technician. If the rack is off-center when adjusting the tie rods, your steering won't turn equally in both directions and will have an uneven turning radius. A centered steering rack also prevents handling problems like uneven bump steer and inconsistent steering resistance.
With the steering rack centering tool, you can ensure the rack is centered every time you do an alignment. This saves time during quick checks after a day on the track or street. When the rack is centered for each alignment, the steering wheel stays in the same position, eliminating the need to reset it. Without this tool, every time you adjust the tie rod, the steering rack moves, requiring you to recheck all alignment settings and set up the alignment equipment again.
Simplify your alignment process and ensure consistent steering with the FDF Steering Rack Centering Tool.
Note: Centering tool needs to be used with OEM inner tierod end to work. The tool needs a flat service to center correctly.

I find it kind of foolish that they have designed this tool to snug up against a stock style inner tie rod, and is not compatible with their own rack adapters. In addition, at least on my 350z rack, their tool was 1/8" off center. they get a couple stars for attempting to make a tool that a lot of us have been craving, but poor follow though. Wish I hadn't purchased.
