rack is done. got an ebay vendor to drop-ship to martin and he's done the work and shipping it off to me asap. for anyone who is interested and has a 99, the ebay vendor originally sent the wrong part, so he has a converted 99 rack available too.
Quick question, if you convert to manual or depowered ps rack can you leave the ps pump in place or will it eventually burn and lock? I'm assuming not pumping thru valves, hoses and rack it will not offer much resistance but would you would just let it fluidless? basically the quetion is if the power steering pump bearing is lubricated by the pentosin or is it just a normal dry bearing as in an alternator?
