I have moved and/or replaced several racks so this is not new to me, overall. But I swapped a rack from my 93, that was in a 90 760 and then I put in my 90 740, then in my 93 940. It's a good rack.
So; now that it's in the 95 the steering wheel is at say 11, when the car is straight down the road. Both cars were aligned correctly I believe before the rack swap. The tie rod ends seem to show pretty much the same threads on both sides. My question is, when fitting the steering shaft to the rack, the splines have to align to accept the pinch bolt in the cut-out. Is there only One way it can go, or can it be off a spline or two and still have the pinch bolt go in?
