FC steering rack rebuild

[infernosg]

Good writeup! I highly recommend this for a sticky; it's a good companion to TTT's de-power how-to, which is missing half the pictures. I recently de-powered my steering rack and had to guess at a few points so this would've been helpful.

My only comment is about the rack support and yoke plug. Almost all the threads/info I've read state to leave that as loose as possible when de-powering the rack. I've not read of any problems occurring but I assume the worst case is when the pinion gear "jumps" a gear on the rack due to the rack deflecting in its housing. I tightened my yoke plug one turn beyond initial engagement so mine is far from "tight." I guess I'll find out if that's enough when I get the car on the ground with 255's up front.
