One method is to take a straight 2 x4 or metal tube, etc. and place next to tires front to back. Visually check both sides similar to the assembly line conveyor tracks.. Then place the wheel temporarily on the spline end, and rotate lock to lock, count the turns of the wheel with tape on it, then turn back the opposite direction approx. 1/2 the turns. That should closely center the steering shaft ( and wheel) with minimal freeplay and equal lash at the extremes of the steering gear. Also, do you have a woodruff key on the threaded ends? The center position should be close to the tires aligned. This is with a stock pitman arm.
