xjedix, as much as I argue with 2kwik... his information is factual... MOST of the time

xjedix

So I sould be looking for a 81'-82' granada manual steering rack for my 89' fox. Should I get the tie rods from the granada as well or is there better manual tie rods I should be looking for?

Good luck finding one of those in the junkyard.
I dont think Ive ever seen an '81-'82 Granada around here.

why not just walk into a parts store and ask for a new/reman unit for a granada? seems simple enough to me.

xjedix

Thats what i'm going to do but I need to know exactly what to ask for.

mattdel

81 or 82

i love when newbs get on here dont use the search feature or google and get pissy when someone doesnt answer simple questions,, and insult the intelligence of mods or senior members

If theres an article out there on doing this swap then please post it; I could not find one. How can you blame me for second guessing him?? He was the only person to say you can do this rack swap. Should I really take the word of one person??? There are a lot of people on the internet posting stuff they have no clue about. Thats what got me to ask for a second opinion. I mean no disrespect for doing so; I just want to be 100% sure on things. I asked him a few questions over and over and could not get them answered. I believe he knows what he talking about but gave no information other then "granada". I still would like to know the following:

1. Is the granada rack same steering ratio??
2. How many turns LTL??
3. Should I get the manual tie rods off the granada as well or get some flaming river manual tie rods??

Again... If there is an article about the granada rack swap then please post and I will not have to be here asking.

Thank you,

you have to use manual tie rods end like I SAID you can get'em for auto zone,advanced,NAPA or about any other place

Allrightythen, I'll go pick up a manual rack and tie rods off an 81'-82' granada and hope for the best. Again, I did not mean to disrespect you in any way, just want to be sure about things. Thanks again for your help, I'll let you know how it worked out for me.
