There must be a procedure for finding the steering rack center. I wonder if you could find the service instructions for steering rack replacement as they would perhaps need to have to have a process to center everything up.
What I've done in the past is to turn until steering wheel stops in one direction, then count the turns until it stops in the other direction, then turn it back half the total. Doing this with the wheels off the ground eliminates relying on tire/wheel position or steering wheel position to determine the center of the rack.
