yeah so essentially you lose the weight of the centerlink, so maybe 5-10lbs, thank you

yeah its in there, works great for moving the truck around the garage. lol
The mustang rack is the same dimensions that the explorer rack Matt used just a quicker ratio.

Re: Rack and Pinion Steering?

As far as I can tell the difference between the Mustang racks and the Explorer racks is that the mouniting bosses on the explorer rack are closer together and more near the center. The mustang rack's mounting bosses are near the ends of the rack. It also seems that t "V" shaped shaft that goes into the the steering shaft is larger on the explorer racks.

This larger shaft is hard to find a U-joint to fit it. So if you dont have the shaft out of the donor ford you might be out of luck.

Update to my last post. Flaming River makes a Uijoint that fits the larger shafts used on the explorer racks
