I have an �86 Westy, steering rack (power) is suspect, previous owner left the pump unhooked due to leakage. I have a new standard rack, does anyone know the following... 1. Will it work? 2. The steering knuckles are supposedly different between power and standard steering. I�m not sure what the difference is. 3. The power rack has a universal joint between the rack and the steering shaft, the standard steering uses a flex plate. I�m not sure how drivable the standard rack will be, I suspect the knuckle difference may be one of leverage. Any ideas or comments are welcome. Dave
