S130 Manual Rack and pinion Swap
Clarifying the fog that covers this swap for the S130 not sure about any of the parts for the 1980-'81 cars because all of my parts were off a '79 going into a '79
If you have power recirculating ball like I had you will need these parts '79 manual rack and pinion engine crossmember (no the '81-'83 power rack and pinion engine crossmember will not work!) '79 manual rack and pinion unit '79 manual steering shaft '79-'81 steering coupler unit (the whole damn thing-4 pieces total plus 4 bolts and 4 nylock nuts with lock washers) outer tie rod ends (mind the thread direction!) '79 manual rack and pinion Steering column-yes there is a difference in the U-joint at the firewall-(if you try to use the recirculating ball column the u-joint at the firewall will bind the hell up) if you have a power rack and pinion you will need all of the above except the manual rack steering column-there should be enough room for adjustments to keep that u-joint from binding. I would do a write-up on the swap but it would be a considerably large thread, and I have no time, unless of course there is some demand for it Thanks-so tired from chasing my tail on this swap for the last month or so it seems. but it is finished. :icon_super: possibly sticky this? |
Pictures? A build thread would be great. Any info that's not already here will help others in the future :)

Agreed. A list of parts that will work is a start, but an explanation of how it all goes together (words and pics) is needed for a decent how-to write up.
And 'splain to me why the power rack cross member won't work... Details... details... |
