(I'am sure i ordered a few other pieces that i'am failing to mention at the moment)
Do the KA engine mount brackets interchange from one another ? And is it the mount brackets that have to be switched from the KA to SR L to R and R to L , or is it just the mount itself. I also picked up these heater hoses from XAT a while ago and was wondering wich goes where and if i'am going to need a 5/8's to 3/8's reducer for xat's kit .
The car has nearly 200k miles on it, and although while the steering doesn't feel funny at all , the alignment is off , and the front drivers side strut is shot and the front drivers side wheel is doing this number
( I see alot of S13's with massive amounts of negative camber on the front wheels , but it is usually on both wheels and not just one.)
Everytime i turn to the right while in full lock the tire will rub against something ( wich i haven't looked into very much yet due to work) Also the right rear seems to be sagging a bit. All in all the only damper that isn't shot on the car is the drivers side rear shock (the car does sit a little bit higher on that one wheel then it does the other rear) . And the high pressure powersteering hose is definetely leaking ,tie rod dust boots are shot and their is a little bit of psteering fluid residue on them. I was going to go ahead and replace the rack , and i was wondering if iit is worth shelling out the extra 100 bucks for the OEM unit , or saving 100 bucks and going with a aftermarket unit . All i want the car to do after the swap is to stop leaking psteering fluid and sit straight, before i start doing any further modifications.
