I basically unbolted the old one and put the new one in its place. I measured the distance between rotors so I could get the toe in/out business the way it was. Or you can count threads on tie rods and do it that way. Or do both to be sure.
I think the instructions said to turn the steering wheel lock to lock a few times before starting. There is a torque setting for rack to cross member. Can't remember what it is as I type this. |

THANKS!!!
Thanks a lot dude! This is really going to save what I have left of my hair from being pulled out!!
I can honestly say that the porsche boards are the best! I have had a couple Firebirds and never ever had such quality responses and in such a quick time frame!

It is a zip file that you will need to extract with winzip.

The screen is entirely blank -- nothing to click/download/see etc. It may be my sucky network netscape version -- I'll get the system admin folks over here to load up a version of evil-bill's exploder on my windows emulator, thanks
