Festiva Rack and Pinion Tie-Rod problem...

[ajbremer]

Looks like the bearings fell out of the end of the rack and pinion housing at the passenger side where the tie-rod goes in. Here's a video to show it.

Do I need a whole new rack thingy or can I get the part I need?

By the way, can another model of cars rack and pinion work with the festivas?

Aspire racks will fit. Just use the inner tie rod ends from a 90-93 Festiva.
Yours needs the bushings on the end. Contact Nate on here for replacement bushings, He's skeeters keeper.

Im glad I clicked on this thread out of curiosity
I just changed inner tie rod ends yesterday, my pass. boot had about 15 pieces of that bushing in it, does anyone else sell these?
That shipping is insane!
If thats the only route, I might just have to pull a rack off a jy car until budget says I can get a rebuilt one
