Author Topic: another Q. manual rack ? Stimpys 5.0 ¯ Member # 5829 posted                              Alright. i removed my power steering system and went manual. now after i removed everything i find out that the steering shaft is a lot bigger diameter than the new shaft on the manual rack. IS IT A MUST TO BUY THE SOLID SHAFT, or can i try to get a differnt shaft/rag style?

Otherwise you will have to use an aftermarket shaft, use a Maxium Motorsport one, the Flaming River one comes loose a lot. -------------------- 88 Saleen #564 88 GT 331 NOVI2000 88 Coupe TURBO 9.75@142 95 Cobra R #75-SOLD 06 F250 13 BMW AH3 17 GT350 #5556 GOD'S NOT DEAD Posts: 20750 | From: Concord & Pittsburg, CA | Registered: Aug 2002  |  : Blind 2.3L CAFords OG Member # 3052 posted                              when I used to run manual steering with a flaming river rack, I ran this one - http://www.maximummotorsports.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=514_3_14&products_id=459 because I didn't feel comfortable with how the flaming river steering shaft installed to me. the MM one is quite beefy, and while expensive, I can't put a price on being able to control the steering wheel of the car I'm driving... -------------------- 89 LX Notchback ex 4cyl, 14psi 02 Harley F150, 15psi Posts: 8521 | From: Fairfield | Registered: Jul 2003  |  :
