Addermk2, While I respect all of your mechanical advice, you must be an unpleasant human being, do you have any real friends?

Has anyone replaced a rack and could answer these questions??

How many power steering lines are hooked up to the steering rack??? I was briefly looking at it this morning and could only see one line running into the top of the rack and 2 bolts holding the rack on. Is there more to it that i'm not seeing??

While I know very little about the steering questions on this thread,I would like to thank the adder for not fireing me up after my comment about him, he sure can "dish it out", but he also can "take it"!This changes my oppinion of him, and I highly respect his advise.Steve

im not too sure if the foxes have a power steering coolor like my SN-95 does, but you should have one line running to the cooler, then from the cooler to the pump, and one from the pump back down to the rack
