Re: Rack and Pinon (vettmike)
No, but I can tell you be sure to use a GM replacement! I replaced mine THREE times before I got a good one; one from Mid America, one from CarQuest, and the third time from GM. DOUBLE CHECK that the rack steering input shaft turns no more than two times from lock to lock before you put it in your car. The first one I got I ordered for a Z51 and they sent me one for the base suspension, more like 2-3/4 turns lock to lock. Also, it is true what the manual says, you must remove the front sway bar and the cooling fan to replace the rack and pinion. Be sure to flush the system, you won't want to do this job more than once.

Rack and Pinon
John G 92 installed "TWO" racks in my '90(Thanks John) one was defective. I honestly expected a lot more INPUT feel with the newer rack(re-man). At least it's in there....but it didn't make that much difference.
