Has anyone ever laid eyes on a Loyale or any EA82 car with manual steering? Or own one and can get a pic?

 

Rumor on nasioc has it that these manual racks will bolt into an Impreza. I want one for my Impreza.

 

I've been looking for one in the pick a part and haven't found one yet. All the loyales I found were PS. I did compare an EA81 manual rack to an Impreza and it was not the same. The spacing on the mounting bushings is different. The loyale and the Impreza PS racks have a wider spacing on the mounts.

 

Supposedly the loyale manual rack does not have the bolt on extension up to the u joint like the EA81 does and the mounting bushing spacing is the same as Impreza.

 

I saw a few loyale manual racks on Ebay, but I wanted to verify before buying what it looks like.

I have one from a DL, it has torn boots though. I can take some pics when I find my camera

my XT-DL has no power steering.

 

will fetch pictures tomorrow.

IIRC, power steering was an option on the GL until '87 when it became standard on all EA82 models. The 85-86 DL's are almost guaranteed to be manual steering, and a lot of 85-86 GL's (not GL-10) were also manual steering.

Thanks. I'd like to see the top of it, where it goes up to the steering column.

 

If it looks like it will work, I'm looking to buy one as well if anyone has one for sale.
