I have just swapped over to a ZF rack in my 92. Monday it goes to an alignment shop.

Do you need to center this type of rack as you do the older ones?

 

Yes you do.

Greg (aka Greg in France) has one in his car, and we were discussing the centreing the other night on the Batphone.

He knows exactly what is needed, 100%.

I will send him an email now to come and reply to this for you.

 

Thanks Is the one last task left on the car before it gets moved to Seattle.

And I get to go back home to Africa and get out of this freezing weather...

The ZF rack has a small grubscrew which takes a 4mm allen key. It is just towards the centre of the rack an inch or two from the tower. Undo the screw and push in a 2mm diameter probe and you will feel it go into a fairly shallow indentation as the rack centres.
Having said all that, at my laser alignment place locally, the standard procedure is the turn the rack fully one way, and them fully the other, and then the machine tell you when it is centred as you turn it back. This gave exactly the same point as the probe did!
