New rack & pinion

I just installed the Flaming River rack and it just bolted right in with absolutely no problems. If anyone is looking to replace the donor one provided by A & C this is a good replacement consideration. I got the one that came with rod ends and bushings.

Roscoe,

Why did you replace the original rack&pinnon fron A&C?
Just curious.

Jerry,
I recently started to get some slight shaking in the wheel. When going in a straight line say, on a highway doing 65 there was no shake. However, when I would take a bend or turn at that speed I would get a shake in the wheel. I could find nothing wrong with any of the suspension but when looking at the front of the car the passenger side wheel was toed out.

After consulting several people we tended to suspect the rack. Maybe an inner tie rod. So rather than rebuild the old one (I didn't know how old it was) I just got a new one.

I did not have alot of time to screw with it as I have a 'gig' with the Cobra on Monday afternoon.

Let me also note that I have 23k miles on the car.
