https://arpinstructions.com/instructions/260-4701.pdf When using Subaru head bolts we use a modified ARP sequence. The guys have found through testing and empirical evidence that a sequence of 30, 60, 85 followed by an additional torque to 90 on the center bolts works just as well as anything Subaru has published. You MUST ensure that NO creaking takes place. We use Amsoil Assembly Lube on the threads. GD

Well done! Don't know about the VSS. What issue are you having with it? Did you swap into an auto or manual vehicle?

The only RHD Subaru's i've ever seen are 1990's legacy's. So the simplest guess would be a 1990-1994 and 1995-1999 difference. Only 1990's legacy rack difference Im aware of is the gear ratio, maybe that's the difference here - are the number of teeth/splines on the shafts that would change steering ratio different? Maybe the quicker rack has beefier gland or something to support quicker steering ratio? CARDONE has a rebuild service listed on rockauto.com - for $218 you mail them your rack and they rebuild it and return it to you. This link may not work - but just drill down to your vehicle on rockauto.com and under rack and pinion is a rebuild option: https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/subaru,1996,legacy,2.2l+h4,1269873,steering,rack+and+pinion,7388 I assume it would be unavailable if you ordered it but here's Subaru's RHD rack: https://www.subarupartsdeal.com/parts/subaru-rack-assembly-gear-box~34116fa000.html This place appears to have sold rebuilt ones before: https://www.detroitaxle.com/shop/steering/rack-pinion/complete-power-steering-rack-pinion-assembly-right-hand-drive/?vyr=1996&vmk=Subaru&vmd=Legacy&vsmd=Postal
