Hmmm, as long as the tie rod end threads match OK, and the steering shaft aligns OK, it doesn't look like a big deal at all.

Taking a closer look at these, they're basically generic TRW racks found in recent Mopar and FoMoCo products. The rack shown for late Mustangs looks 100% identical to the rack in my Y2K Dakota. So I have a measurement reference right there in my driveway.

Instead of getting a quick-ratio Saginaw box for the Jav, this might be a better deal if the fit works out.

Hmmmm....
