Alright, so this is how I swapped the superstrut tie rods onto my AT200 rack and pinion. We didnt swap it on the another Celica and we snapped the linkage in half so we found out the reason for the C curve the hard way. Here you go. Suggestions and questions welcome.
Compare  Dissasemble  They are the same   Pry the gold back then use a set of pliers and a 19mm to separate the inner rod from the rack and pinion  Separated  Difference is minor, an alignment should fix any discrepancies  Attatch  Attatched    Attatch Boot  Done, rinse and repeat for the other side.  any thoughts are welcome, I havent driven the car yet but ill post again to update with problems if any arise.
