Keep the wheel centered during repairs! #repair #fail
Customer installed a rack and pinion and wants an alignment. The wheel will need to be disconnected and recentered, but there is no way to know where the clock spring is. The clock spring transfers data from wheel controls thru the wiring harness to the BCM. But it is limited to 4 turns so once off center they break and must be replaced.
When doing this repair keeping the wheel centered while disconnected is critical.
