I also had to cut some off the tube that comes out the firewall so I can slide the shaft up in there to be able to get the u joint on the spline on the rack and pinion. It cost me 50 bucks for the u joint. That's all it cost me and 1 hour of my time. I go the rack and pinion from Advance Auto Parts for a 79 Mustang for $84 three years ago.

Thanks for the pics I ordered the U-joint
