Default manual steering rack into a ek

I am installing a manual steering rack into my ek dx sedan and have heard that when going from power steering to manual steering there are some issues with the u joint that connects the rack to the column. I bought a manual steering rack from a cx ek as i have been told that this combination will work. Does anyone have any information on this? Thanks.

i just did mine last week. you hve to use the u joint from the new cx steering rack. the shaft on the dx and cx are different sizes. so to answer your question- get a cx u-joint

i know there is an easier way...but in my opinion the right way to do it is actually installing a manual rack that was designed for manual steering.
