Thats a good write up in that link. I think I'm too lazy to do that and would probably just swap to a manual rack lol

Same here, plus I'm trying to do everything the right way not rush it like I usually do and then think about how unhappy I am or all the things I need to do while I drive the car.
I must say so far it has been a lot of work and if it wasn't for having help I probably wouldn't do it or come up with another way to drain the fluid and fill the rack full of grease.
I need to weld up 2 holes then get a few fittings for the rest of the rack. I also need to get 2 tie rod ends and steering bellows that I guess were ripped already. Luckily I can warranty the tie rod ends.

Yea i was thinking of doing this but would like to here how it feels after the piston/seal is removed,
im in the same boat with do it once and be done, never been to thorough on any of my old builds, and I could tell by all the wrench time, I now have my own house and garage so I have all the time I need to put mine back together the right way the first time.

It's a lot of work, I still need to get some fittings to plug a few holes and then get 2 holes in the rack welded.

Get ready to buy another power rack after the first 100 miles and a McDonald's drive through.
I think I've now replaced every part I took off making my racecar 10 years ago. :D

I daily drive my awd talon with welded diff and no power steering, no biggie. I actually really like the feel.
