Hello all- I have an XK8 (1997) steering rack question. Many earlier Jaguars have a feature where you can use a screw or 1/4" rod on steering rack to lock it in the center position. Do XK8 racks have this too??

We just swapped racks and I'd like to lock the rack on center and then reconnect the steering shaft (with the steering wheel on center too....)

Thanks
Andrew

 

Andrew, I'm attaching a photo of the cover. I've downloaded a 79mb service manual that covers everything including installing the steering rack. I assume it's way too big to attach here as a manual, but odds are that someone on this site told me where to find it. Perhaps it's in the reference section above.

If someone remembers where to get this, please share with Andrew.

John
