how much of a bitch is this on a 96 gsr? looks like its my next weekend project .

 

All I'm going to say is...... have fun

 

Tim,

It is not that bad, just takes a lot of patience.

 

lol, thanks. i should be alright then.

 

Its easy. When you disconnect the steering linkage make sure you center the wheels. Also when you take your tie rod ends off make sure those are centerd also. Either count the number of turns or count the number of threads inward. Or mark it. Which ever, Afterwards. Best to get a alignment check. Even if you did everything perfect. It only takes a few minutes off your alignment, not a degree but mintues which then say, 6 months from now you will notice a nice little wear on the inside or outside of the tire. Its always better to check it after any suspension related parts like THIS are replaced.

Good luck its so easy you will have fun. Remove the tires (front). Center the steering wheel and lock it. Disconnect the steering linkage off the steering colum. Disconnect the two power steering hard lines off the rack, Remove the two mounting bolts from the rack. Remove the cotter pins from the tie rod ends, disconnect the tie rod ends from the knuckle, slide that bitch out through the driverside. Remove the tie rod ends and inner tie rod ends. Install it on the new rack. Then reinstall. BAM!! done!

 

doesnt sound TOO bad, but it does sound like a project . thanks alot man
