Got the steering all done, used the manual rack from earlie 80s corolla and had to use its intermediate shaft(or whatever), and its U-joint since the rack input thing was smaller... was a pain, if any one has done this with the motor in the car and didnt pull out the steering column then they have skills, I dont see how you can do it without pulling the steering column out.

and the manual brackets on the passenger side were shorter(dont know what people do about that, maybe I got them from a weird year or something) but I cut out to the ends to make like a slot and it worked... Ill definatly convert back to PS when the car is in better shape.

Thanks for the help finally got to drive my car around my yard(just to move it from where it was jacked up being worked on, it needs new tires it has 1 flat... but I can get 15 inch tires for free so no biggie.

1985 300ZX Turbo 5spd < The only one that drives.
1985 Corolla not Turbo 5spd <- The only one with live axle.
1976 280Z Turbo 4spd <- The only one without an LSD.
