    Gus, what is the condition of your old rack? How many miles on it? NZ is too far to ship from should you be willing to sell it, but I am really curious.

    Mine at 230,000 is shot. Has like 1/2" of slop at the tie rod....nasty. I was hoping it was just ends, but no luck.

    Oh well.

      Where'd you get your steering rack? I want to do the same thing.

        The steering will kick around a bit if you don't put that damper in.

          what do you mean by kick around? old steering is working perfectly...just want the big manly arms from a manual rack.....haha just picked it up from a wrecked e30 316...gonna see if i like it...if not sell it on.....the e30 power steering is soooo slow.....will let you guys know what the comparison is like...im keen to know myself!
