1991 ZR1 - Rack and pinion assembly

[trev98]

Good day all,

First time vette owner here, I just picked up a 1991 ZR1 here in Canada. Honestly this community and seeing the support around for the ZR1 played into my decision to pick it up.

Unfortunately, it didn't pass inspection; there is a tiny bit of slop between the rack and pinion assembly and tie rod end (couldn't even notice it on the steering wheel).

I have a couple questions for you folks:

-It looks as is the regular C4 vette assembly is the same as the ZR1? Here is the one I am looking at ordering:

-Is there any DIY around on pulling this out and is it much different with the LT5 vs the regular vette engine?

-I assume the 1991 Corvette shop manual applies to the ZR1 as well? Not sure if there would be anything on doing the rack and pinion assembly in that? I seen there was a seperate LT5 one as well, I will likely just order both.

Any help/suggestions is appreciated!
