It is not bad, I have ran manual racks on all of my Fox cars with no real problems. Front runners do help though

RE: manual steering rack
if i run say a 165 tire on a 3.5" rim, would it make it any easier to turn, i think i would. but i have no experience.??

RE: manual steering rack
Ok, if you don't like those ideas, order a Flaming River kit from Holcomb motorsport.com in N.C..
Costs about $400 but it fits and comes with the steering U-joint too.
Takes about 3 hours to put on the car, no specisl tools needed........
