Hi, All-

I just received my ZF rack from Jorgen in the mail a few days ago. I asked them to send a ZF, and that's what they did. I've purchased new tie rod ends from IPD, a new fluid reservoir from eBay (the old one had a cracked nipple that has been leaking for years), and two quarts of synthetic ATF to refill and purge the system. Hopefully all goes well and I can head straight to the alignment shop straight away. I have the Bentley as my guide.

Anything I'm missing? Any tricks to doing this with minimal brain/knuckle damage? I assume I can use the existing hoses?

I'll keep you posted as it comes together.

Aaron
