Montana Tom,
Use a level surface, white adhesive tape, a carpenter's level, and jack stands to determine the correct relationship between the steering wheel and the rack.
1. Raise the front wheels above the surface and support each with a jackstand.
2. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel fully to the right.
3. Place a ring of white adhesive tape around the highest point of the steering wheel.
4. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left.
5. Place a ring of white adhesive tape around the highest point of the steering wheel.
6. Turn the steering wheel to the center until a level placed across the two pieces of tape is completely horizontal. The steering rack is now fully centered.
7. Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key. The steering column should now be locked.
8. Remove the steering wheel and refit it to the desired position.
9. Verify your efforts by repeating above steps 2 - 7, THEN tighten the steering wheel nut to the correct torque.
10. Remove the tape from the steering wheel, remove the jackstands and test drive the vehicle.
Happy SAABing
