My final update.. The method I devised still does not get this thing perfect.. I am out by a couple degrees after four separate attempts to clock the pinion (came up shy the first two, went too far on the third, adjusted back to the second position on the fourth). Albeit the lock to lock is better t...

The directional is triggered by the angle sensor that does have a true center. That was one of the hurdles. The column has 6 points that can act as TDC. The only thing that can be adjusted to rectify the fixed mounting points is the pinion. I was extremely hesitant to even attempt going the route I ...

UPDATE: I HAVE THE SOLUTION.. extremely ridiculous that it had to come to this, but I want to save anybody who finds themselves at this point the trouble.. The pinion has to be separated from the rack and clocked to the desired position for your column/yolk to rack connection. Kind of a pain in the ...

My exhaustion continues.. sent back the off brand rack and sourced a "maval" unit from a different supplier with hopeful resolve. This brand is sold by FCP (expected to be solid, they generally don't sell crap), so I was more confident in the quality.. it's still out. Does anybody know if ...

I have also made the exhausted realization that even if I were to adjust the steering angle sensor, I would still be out on lock to lock rotations as this is s complete mechanical issue based on the hex being 30 degrees out from the rack being 100% centered no matter what.. with the amount of time I...

I have gone every which way to Sunday to mechanically align this thing based on the stock positions. There is no way to get it perfect; period. The rack has to be out based on the remanufactuers efforts. The following photos show everything I have been up against and are the rack in a perfectly cent...

The car is still partially disassembled, so i can't speak on its relation to the rear. I am trying to get the rack dialed before I reinstall tierod ends and drop it back off the jack stands and align it. I wish I had some pictures to help show exactly what I'm up against. Essentially the yolk bolts ...

The rack is centered. The wheel still wants to be out 90 degrees from the stock position with everything back exactly as it came out to center the rack. The wheel did not move during removal, as it was locked into place with the seat belt. The back of the subframe was dropped to allow clearance to r...

I went a little deeper down the rabbit whole and disassembled the steering wheel to have a better look at the yolk and steering wheel assembly. I needed a 90degree adjustment to center the rack. The yolk and rack are not really independently adjustable as they have to orient a certain way to allow t...

Hello all, New here! Thus far I have been able to overcome many hurdles with my XC60 dad-mobile counting on my own wits and of course the trusty youtube, but I find myself at a cross roads.. I was suffering the the wandering clunky steering and 10 degree dead zone I have found a bit of information a...
