I removed the power steering rack today on my 1983 242DL to replace it with a rack from a 1990 245. I discovered that the old unit is mounted to the body with two "U" bolt type brackets. The replacement unit which is marked "ZF" appears to mount with a "U" bolt at the passenger side end and two bolts which mount through the frame and thread into the rack. I only have a Haynes manual and thee is no mention of the diference between these two types of racks. The tie rods and hoses seem to fit OK as does the steering shaft. When I picked up the used ZF rack it did not come with any mounting hardware. My question is what are the lengths and thread sizes of the two mounting bolts that hold the drivers side of the rack to the frame? Does anyone have a photo of how the ZF racks mount? Is there anything else I am missing. The passenger side seems to mount fine with the "U" bolt from the original rack? Thanks for any help!
