[V8] Steering Rack Centering

For the most part, yes, the car will steer straight if I let the wheel 
go.  It pulls a little to the right but nothing drastic.  I'll play 
around with it more this evening.

For an alignment, I plan on taking it to National Tire and Battery (NTB) 
whenever I return to KC.  I used to take a lot of exotics there (964 
Carrera RS America, e.g.) with no trouble but the place is about 300 
miles away.  So anything I can do myself is great.

I'll experiment with no-hands driving (anyone remember Kermit on the 
bike?  "Look ma, no brains!") tonight and possibly pull the airbag and 
move it over one spline.

Thanks,
Scott S.
