you will need a new alignment as toe will be affected by the new rack and tie rods arent in the same location.

Call me when you're ready to order the manual rack. We can give you alignment specs for our bump steer we use. It's best to find someone that can do alignments the old way, w/out a computer.

I have a MadMan manual rack in mine, with his bump steer correction kit, and love it. My wheel alignment guy was impressed with it's lack of bump steer. Had it for 4 or 5 years now with zero problems.

Madman you have a pic of one of your steering shafts? I'm curious how you make yours... Chuck shipped me some parts so I can try to redo the one I got from him because it's hitting the #1 primary something fierce.
