    Anyone familiar with installing a manual steering rack?

    I am trying to install a manual steering rack and I'm not sure what two holes I should bolt it to. If I bolt them to the front bolt hole (closes to the front) the fit is great, but the steering u joint is is only half way into the splines on the steering column. If I bolt it to the back holes, it doesn't line up correctly and the boots on the rack are slightly hitting against the subframe, but the steering joint goes all the way into the splines on the steering column. It looks like the factory ps rack bolts to the rear bolt holes. Can someone tell me where I should bolt this? How do I post the pics from my phone?

    I remember seeing a person selling all the parts needed for manual rack swap.
    The knuckle was a bit different from the ones I have seen with power steering cars.
    Maybe that is why you are having the fitment issue?

    Here's the link:

      manual steering rack uses the outside holes to mount to the subframe. universal joint is also different as pictured in the link above. if i recall correctly the universal joint is a bit longer, and looks like one pictured in link above.
