16. Your rack and pinion is centered before shipping and is marked. Make sure not to move it off center
or loosen the mounting blocks on the gear itself. Slide the entire rack assembly with bracket into
place aligning the mounting holes of the rack with the original steering box and idler arm holes on the
frame. Then install hardware loosely to hold the rack in place.
17. Once the rack is in place leave the bolts loose and install the shaft and u-joint from the rack and
pinion to the steering column with the u-joint already on it. Slide the shaft onto the u-joint on the
column and snug the pinch bolt. Run the shaft down to the rack, with the rack u-joint on the shaft,
raise the rack into place to spline the lower joint to the pinion.
NOTE: It is important that you phase the u-joint 90 degrees out or opposite of each other before you
install and tighten. Also make sure that you center your steering wheel before sliding the u-joints together,
but do not turn the rack out of center.
MAKE SURE YOUR RACK AND PINION IS CENTERED AND YOUR STEERING WHEEL IS
RESONABLY STRAIGHT.
