    Default 86 powersteering to manual rack

    Hi all

    anyone actually done this before? I have a PS rack that's not connected to a pump and its giving me the shits.

    I have read that i need a new crossmember (and rack obviously) as well as intermediate shaft and uni joint which seems a bit extreme.

    Can anyone confirm the parts that are needed?

    cheers

    Daniel.

    so thats all you used on your car? No adjustments to the column length necessary? Im hunting for facts from personal experience not internet hearsay.

    you definitely do need to change the column or mod it. i remember ant talk about it might be possible to mod the stock ps rack, there is one spot weld or something and then the splined section or whatever can slide a little further out.

    you also do not need to change the x member. t3 sell a "spacer" that goes around the rack on the passenger side, so you can fit a manual rack to a p.s car.

    when i did it on a customers car once i just made the spacer from steel tubing.. worked fine.

    i cant remember what i did with the column. must have swapped it cant remember modding it.
