How to center- late style XJS ZF steering rack?
Hi, I'm upgrading the rack in my 88 XJS to the later style 93-96 ZF unit. On the older racks, centering was done by removing the grease fitting on the adjuster assembly below the tower and inserting a 1/4" rod to land in a center depressed spot on rack itself. I can't seem to find a similar spot on ZF rack?? There is a rubber plug in the same general location as the grease fitting on the old units, but I can't detect any spot to mark center inside on rack itself.
Does anyone know?

On the ZF rack there is a small Allen headed grubscrew just to the side of the rack tower. Unscrew this using a 4mm allen key, and a pointer be inserted into a shallow indentation that can be felt as a helper slowly moves the steering.
