Does anyone know what rack these came with? TRW? Saginaw? The parts list shows the part number for a power rack, but I just had the car up with the wheel off and it does not have any fittings on the rack.
Here's the weird part, it doesn't look like the pictures of a manual rack on rock auto.
Some observations from the rack in the car: It has a tall collar for the steering input shaft like a power rack but has no fittings ( kind of looks like they were welded closed ). Not the stubby input shaft of a manual rack.
It does have the cross rack vent line though like a power rack but no other lines or fittings that I can see.
I need to replace my inner tie rod ends but having some trouble getting them off, I'm afraid i'm going to hurt the rack by twisting too hard.
I've got a bad feeling that I'm going to have to pull the entire rack and get it onto a bench to get the inner's off.
I'd like to not have to pull the rack and wait for the parts while it's out ( especially since it's only been back on the road for a few days after the blown HG ) , but beginning to think that's the only option.
...and yes, I've verified that the inner rod ends need to be replaced..took the boot off and the drivers side has quite a bit of play in the socket.
