Rack and Pinion question. US to JDM body
Will the US Galant 1999 - 2003 model's Rack and Pinion fit into a JDM Galant?
I got my car already finally and it had to be converted from RHD to LHD (mine is a VR-4 import from Japan and it's illegal to drive an RHD here in the Philippines).
Unfortunately, the monkey mechanics botched up the steering.
The right turn is superb and tight but the left turn is GIGANTIC in radius!
If you'll execute a U turn to the left, you'll have to have a 4 lane highway MINIMUM to take the U-turn in one go.
Tight left turns are a problem too and you really have to reverse in taking simple left turns.
My new mechanics here in our local town (different from the one that converted it) said that I'll need a donor Rack and Pinion from a similar model.
Anyway, I browsed thru Ebay.com and found some items there but it fits USDM Galant.

Just wondering if these same rack and Pinions for the USDM Galant would fit into the JDM Galant?
Local PHDM Galant Rack and Pinions are hard to find but the ones in ebay are quite abumdant so it's my choice for the donor.
Would it work?
Help!
