I know it's been a few years since I've been on here, I should update my project build. Needless to say, the car is fully back together as what I would consider an ST204.5, n/a AWD-4WD. My latest problem is the steering rack bushings turned too mush due to PS leaks over the years. The whole rack is shifting left to right. Has anyone found a good replacement for our bushings? The tough one would be the more horseshoe shaped bushing. The straight through side, I could easily make something to work. Thanks, Jon

I ended up going with the Detroit Axle replacement rack. Seems to be a reman, but no core charge / return needed. The bushings used with it aren't rubber, so I'm guessing they are urethane versions. 13 hrs to swap it on my car, working summer time pace. I just have to refill with oil and bleed the system, more or less. (not sure the AWD conversion made it take any longer, since the rack fits over the topo of the rear output housing.)
