Centering the steering wheel means to equalize the tie rod ends with the
steering wheel and the road wheels pointed straight ahead.  Unless some
dunderhead has removed the steering wheel and not indexed it correctly upon
replacement, adjusting the tie rod ends so that an equal number of threads
are exposed on either tie rod is all that has to be done to start the
alignment.
