Default how to center steering box

Replaced steering box and shaft and found that the box is off center. Is there a way to line it up center? Thanks again for any help!

There's a process in the RAVE. If it's off more that 10° or something you need to disconnect the steering shaft from the splined shaft sticking out of the box and realign the splines. There's a "home" in the bottom of the box and you thread an M8X100mm or something into the locating position, then center the wheel and slide the splines back together. You're actually supposed to do that before installing the box. Minor adjustments are done at the track rod by loosening the two clamps and rotating the coupling near the passenger side wheel, front side of the axle.

Track rod and drag link are easy to adjust, so long as the threads aren't all rusted up. Apply lots of penetrating oil. I had to cut slots in mine to get them free.
