Abstract
A spline centering device is arranged on a member having a spline in mating engagement with a spline on a member having a hole not otherwise having spline centering or piloting characteristics. The centering device features a spring loaded tapered member which locks into the hole to provide the required piloting affect and to therby reduce spline motion and spline tooth wear.
