steeroids help
I was driving to work yesterday when I noticed a growing dead spot in my steering. By the time I got to work, the dead spot had reached 90 degrees in each direction (scary)! When I checked it out i noticed one of my hoses to the PS pump had popped off. I'm assuming this was the problem.
More disturbing, however, I noticed 2 bolts missing from my steeroids rack and pinion system. I had to leave the car at work, so I need someone here to tell me which size of fastener to pick up.
The 2 pieces I need:
One of the large bolts that attaches the rack to the mounting plate. (It somehow got out despite loctite and the provided clip)
one of the allen bolts that lock the u-joints onto the shaft. (I used the shorter of the 2)
I think it might say what size they are in the instructions, but i forget.
Help me so i can bring it home today!
Thanks in advance!

Missing bolts
If they're the ones I think you're talking about they are 5/8 X 18 X 1-5/8 grade 8 bolts. Be sure you torque them to 60 ft/lbs and use a high strength thread locker. The set screws look like they are 5/16 X 3/8.
Hope this helps.
