Does the steering column have a center indicator?

Hey Guys,

Just finished my replacing my rod bearings.

I am about to reinstall the subframe and steering rack.

When I disassembled the steering, I forgot to straighten the steering wheel, I rotated to the right to gain access to the e10 bolt.

How do I go about reinstalling it? do I just straighten the steering inside the car?

Then straighten the steering rack?

Is there a center indicator on the steering rack? and one on the steering shaft?

assuming you didnt move the rack after the steering wheel was disconnected then the steering shaft will go back in right where it came out of. There is a tab on the rack where the shaft will go into, also this should slip in with not much force indicating that its in properly.
