Bob is correct: power rack & manual don't swap Posted by Gary Stottler [Email] (#1463) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Gary Stottler) on Sun, 25 Nov 2012 06:29:25 In Reply to: Don't think power rack & manual is a swap >>, BobD, Fri, 23 Nov 2012 10:42:59 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Steve,
I did some further investigation over on the Saab 99 email list, and Bob is absolutely right, the Power and Manual steering racks don't swap, at least not with a lot of other parts and fabrication - it is mounted in the car differently. Sorry for my mistake about that point.
I did find a source that will rebuild the Power rack (I think that they need you to send them your rack) for $325:

I would certainly consider replacing the hoses at the same time since everything is apart anyway and the rubber hoses are usually the most failure prone part at this age.
