[96eclipse]

I did a build over the winter time and i am having a problem with the steering u joint under the dash sliding sometimes. one minute the steering will be straight and sometimes its off to the side. are the steering columns different lengths for a manual rack and a car that came with power steering? its a 98 civic hatchback dx. thanks

PS rack uses a different knuckle, larger splines at the rack. You need a manual rack knuckle.

i went to the junk yard and pulled one last week and put it on its still slipping.
