Yes, the non-power steering rack has a sharper turning radius also. Quicker lock-to-lock.

you might need to swap the whole crossmember. check the brackets that hold the steering rack on. I've heard the PS ones are bigger.

The power steering ones are bigger but you don't have to swap the whole crossmember. I am using a non power steering rack off a std hatch on my lx sedan which came with power steering. I used some pieces of rubber i had around the house to take up the difference, been working fine for over 2 years now. Once you put your hands on it you will see what i mean, and also see its not a major issue.

Did you guys use used racks? Mine is squeaking so I'm pretty sure it's shot.
