Ok, help me out here people...
Seems i have the wrong pinion?
Top is from my rack, bottom is new pinion.
It kinda fits, and turns, but yeah the helical cut section is just going to be rubbing / cutting on the bearing there, dosent have the flat section like the other pinion.
Looks like i needed this one?
What pinion did i receive? Pinion A or B?
or, what rack does it look like i have? A or B? or early, late revision ect?
I had droped my rack off at a power steering place to have this installed, all seals changed ect, new boots, i have new oem toyota inner rod ends to be put on ect, and just get them to do whatever they need to / can as its a power steering rack that ill be running without power steering, so thay advised all the lines can be blocked, the 2 hardlines can be removed and blocked, they mentioned somthing about welding somthing on the pinion, and yeah just pack with grease ect instead of having ps fluid in it ect.
Thay have told me, obviously not only that the pinion may be wrong, but the rack itself is not that great, few flat spots or worn out ect, so either way ill be chasing another used rack, so if this is a later model pinion, i can jsut try to find a later model rack??
