Probably better to just re-build yours. If you're up to the task.

theres only the rack end bushing and tie rods that is possibly "rebuildable" on a manual steering rack. paying for a new one when its just worn out is just wasting money.

that being said, just rebuild a junkyard one if you really need a replacement.

Inner and outer with the stupid bushing. Easy enough to change. Only upgrade would be si rack which turns faster unless u wanted aftermarket

wrong.

the STD/DX/HF (all same) rack has 18.6:1 ratio. the variable Si rack has 19.8 average (18-20.4 variable):1. not much of a difference anyway.

turn lock to lock is listed 3.8 DX and 4.1 Si.

also the power rack ratio is 17.7:1 with 3.65 lock to lock. this is the "fastest" from stock, if you really wanted it. you also need a different crossmember, that i think is heavier, even if you didnt use power fluid.

quaife is the only option for a faster aftermarket steering rack. it only works with the STD/DX/HF rack, the Si pinion length is incompatible with quaife.

Anybody here knows the part numbers for the rack and pinion parts and the complete rack and pinion as well?
Can I convert the non power steering into power steering?
What parts do I need?

Thanks.
