8. Once the rack is in place leave the bolts loose and install the shaft and u-joint from the rack and
pinion to the steering column with the u-joint already on it. Slide the shaft onto the u-joint on the
column and snug the pinch bolt. Run the shaft down to the rack, with the rack u-joint on the shaft,
raise the rack into place to spline the lower joint to the pinion. NOTE: It is important that you phase
the u-joint 90 degrees out or opposite of each other before you install and tighten. Also make sure
that you center your steering wheel before sliding the u-joints together, but do not turn the rack out of
center.
Note: MAKE SURE YOUR RACK AND PINION IS CENTERED AND YOUR STEERING WHEEL IS
RESONABLY STRAIGHT.
