theres your problem........ IT broke.
theres a pretty serious crack on the rack housingDid you use a new teflon washer when you hooked up the power steering pump? Might be an easy fix...
Would it go over the idler and still wrap around the tensioner like it does?Good job! You know you can get rid of that a/c delete pulley if you put a ribbed idler in place of the smooth one you have, and get a shorter belt.
jb weld it is then!theres a pretty serious crack on the rack housing

From the looks of it, it will get rid of both your upper idler and ac delete pulley.
Well I think I’ll just replace the power steering rack for now until I save up for manual stuffI’ve done both, disconnected power assisted stuff and gone manual. Driving with power rack and power brakes but not having a power steering pump hooked up is a lot harder to drive with than a manual swap setup is. A manual swap will obviously cost more money than bypassing the power stuff though.
Good idea! Good job getting it running though. Minimal down time is always a plus. Hopefully this one will last you a good long time
