Came out of a 90 2wd 4cyl.

$50 plus shipping sound fair? I'm in Tallmadge OH (around the corner from Summit Racing).

The hard part is going to be digging it out of the barn......

The dealer told me manual steering was only an option on the 4cyl when I tried to buy a non power steering belt for my V8. I got a non A/C belt and added a idler. The manual rack also uses a different spline coupler. This smaller coupler was $175 but is now discontinued. Flaming river may have one but they could only tell me the sizes they have not what they fit

I just pulled a power rack out of a jy and bolted it in. I had no issues with the splines.

Let me dig it out this weekend and I'll look at it closely - I may stillhave the splined coupler attached.

ok, I dug it out, it's complete tie rod to tie rod (you'll need new boots) and it's got the U-Joint / splined assembly still on it - I just pulled the telescoping rectangular rod out of the slipjoint.

I wont have the belt issues. My engine is a L/A and has v-belt and removing the psp will be easy. all i need to do is change my water pump pulley to tie in with the alt and remove the ps pump and I am good to go.

Would you have any idea what shipping would be? 50 Sounds good to me.

Gimme your zip and I can find out. It'll be a long box but not too heavy, I'd imagine around $30 or so......

coming out of 44278 Tallmadge OH (right by Summit Racing) if you're ever out this way.
