Steering Rack Install Problem
Steering Rack Install Problem I spun out on the freeway and hit my LF wheel on a curb. This bent my tie rod and cracked my rack and pinion in half. I got a new rack from autozone and can't get it in. The steering linkage hits the headers just enough that I can't put it back together.
Can the new rack be just a little different to cause this? I am working in a apatment parking lot so I don't have a lot of tools or space. Will I have to take off the headers to make a dent in the tube that is hitting the steering?
Any help is appeciated.

i bet you didnt seat the linkage all the way down on the shaft poking out of the rack. basically you need to pry that steering linkage apart with the little bolt out and then seat it on the rack completely then put the bolt back in and tighten it till the little gap closes.

YOU HAVE THE WRONG RACK!!! i went thru this same exact **** 2 months ago..... local parts store got me the wrong rack and the pinion angle was off causing the intermediate shaft to hit the headers. you need the 'sport suspension' rack..... the pinion will lean over to the right enough to clear......
lucky for me i found a rebuild kit at autozone for the 'sport suspension' rack and returned the new rack
