To center the rack, take the steering wheel off. Count the full and partial rotation of the steering shaft from full right to left. Divide full and partial rotation by 2. Starting from full right, or left, rotate the shaft the divided amount. Put the steering wheel on the spines in the most straight ahead position while being careful not to turn the steering shaft. The steering wheel may not be quite straight ahead due to the spline engagement, once the wheel is on, turn it to straight ahead. While keeping the steering wheel in the newly determined straight ahead position, adjust the tie rod ends for proper toe in.
An old trick for C900 alignment was to run a string around the car across the center of all four tires. The alignment is close, when the string just touches the outside of all four tires (8 places, 2 per tire). This will not work on all cars, but the C900 has a narrower front tread, and toe in on the front and rear wheels which works out just about right for proper toe in.
