    So if its all new, why is a pinion core required?

    I have heard (anecdotally) that it is to ensure your existing rack doesn't get rebuilt down the line. I don't know if there's any truth to that.

    Here's the seller on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/120642959014

    just ask for this size and he'll custom make it for you for only 10 bucks!

    outer diameter--1 and 3/16", inner diameter--7/8", and a length of 1 and 1/4"

    good luck!

    My steering feels like new btw!

    That's interesting, is the rack from the Escort/Capri a crossover to ours?

    go figure.

    Your google skills are awesome my friend. I thought I was good. I ended up spending about 110 on my "kit" but i'm still pretty satisfied at the results...I wish you would've posted 3 weeks earlier though, haha!
