Help on power steering
I purchased a donor 89 mustang and would like to use the power steering rack that was on the donor, but It seems like the rack is too long. Does anyone have any experience with this rack and how would I go about shortening it so I can use it. I tried going to an auto parts store and getting shorter tie rods ends, but there are lots to choose from with all different thread types. Any particular make and model vehicle that I can purchase Tie rod ends to make work?

How much too long?
If you can a compatible tie rod , you may be fine BUT a shorter tie rod will be more susceptible to bump steer.

Don't be afraid to trim it a little bit if you need to. As long as you have enough threads engaged for safety, there's no problem. Seems like that's a common occurance with some FFR's.
If you can't trim it enough, then it's probably a mismatch of the spindles and tie rods.
