Hi Fred,

I don't know of any way short of disassembly of the steering box to find true center. Moving the steering wheel all the way left, then all the way right and returning to half way in between is about as close to center as I know how to get with the coach on the ground and the steering box sitting where it should. Others may know a better way.

i have a question about centering the steering box. from other sources it is necessary to align the flat on the box shaft with a surface on the box casting. someone else said you could do as you have said i.e. turn lock to lock and split the difference to find center. i have not tried your method yet so i'm just asking.

BTY very nice presentation.
