Are All Billet Steering Racks Created Equal?

Thanks for the response.
But, definitely will be looking elsewhere for a rack. I would have hoped to get more service from your rack than the OE. It's a great deal of work to replace every 1500 to 2000 miles.

Anybody that's spent a bit of time fixing older cars n trucks knows about the gear adjustments on steering boxes. I learned in 1968. Don't be a "Chicken" to adjust it. Its a 5 minute job and you can't really hurt it if you use just a bit of common snese (or follow instructions from all over the internet).

Anybody that has pulled a steering rack off a Talon knows that it isn't a 5 minute job. If you have a trick to adjust on the machine please share.. JMHO

Did RB3 say that you have to remove the rack to adjust it? Just curious.

There is absolutely no room to get to the adjustment and adjustment will not correct worn out components.

The rack can be pulled without removing the diff if you pull the snap ring and seal off the pinion shaft and yank the shaft out. All I do to the diff is pull the mounting bolts and slide it forward. Easy peasy.....

Edit: Thats with the RB3 rack. I have no idea if it can be done to a stock rack, never tried.
