I am not going to make it. Cannot find the right part for the steering rack. Got one more I can try.

Just crazy... surely we can figure this out in the next couple of weeks... or just rebuild the rack???Originally Posted by babablackgoat

I'll go look... I think he's sourced 3 diff part numbers from O'Reilly. We did a first LT rack return for an LS rack... that shaft was too big for the column, and I think he's exchanged that one too. It's been much harder than it should have had to be...

Hm, We had done an LS rack into an LT column for #82. I don't recall having to do anything funky, but I may have gotten the lower part of the column from the junkyard when I bought the subframe and associated parts. I did see a few local LS cars on car-parts earlier today when I looked.

Steering shaft is unlimited in the rules, can you just get a rack and make a shaft with aftermarket u joints?
Sorry, I'm out. I'm going to put the ECR money towards tires for next season.
What actual part do you need and for what setup? I'm just thinking there is the rack, joint between rack and column. If you need anything LS I'm coming to the arm pit this week.

It's literally just a rack swap... but the u-joint on the end of the column is smaller than the rack output shaft. We tried just swapping it in the car and ended up pulling the column to be able to test fit it. I think he's on a third rack trying to find one that fits... I may have a coupling at the shop too. But no reason we can't get it sorted for ECR... i would think.

Yes, planning to be there in the 88. May be on old tires and slow... but there.
