I did a NATIONWIDE SEARCH (almost) for the steering shaft and found that for the '83 wagon at least...the shaft (firewall to rack) for the PS and manual racks were the same ...as were the hatchbacks. If you need one...try for one from a PS car since it will have been used under less load...with manual steering, there are times when you really have to put the torque to it, causing these to wear out faster. Also one from a rust free area helps a lot.3A-C Power wrote: I think the inner and outer tie rod ends are different and the shaft with 2 u-joints that goes from the steering shaft to the steering rack is different. I don't think the steering column itself is any different.
Power steering- is it popular?
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.
