Thanks for the replies I didn't get an answer tho why Does it damage the rack? Also I would assume there is noticeable drag but only while making a sharp turn.
Only reason I asked is because I was taking the smog pump and ac compressor because I was given under drive pullies and the right belt.... but unless I relocate the steering pump I can't use this belt without skipping the steering pump and keeping a useless ac compressor on which is dumb. I'll have to order the bracket, anyone know of the cheapest one?
Last time I looked it was at least 50$ that seems excessive just to move the power steering pump a few inches. I've read what the underdrive pullies can do, I've heard good things about those. I've heard that you have to press off the pulley to the power steering otherwise I don't get why they don't offer one of those too.
does anyone know where I can buy just the alternator underdrive pully because I only got the crank and water pump pulley. I managed to get the 2 pullies, gt40 upper and lower and the 70.5 inch belt for 100$ but no alternator pulley.
