V1 Does my rack look like your rack?

[Torchandregdoc]

I am using a 09 HHR SS as a donor and want to make sure the HHR rack and pinion will work in the Goblin. Can someone verify that the angle of your pinion shaft is relatively similar to the angle of mine?

If no one gets to you by tonight I'll send you a picture of mine. I have a couple of them. At a glance it looks right though.

It should be the same. The cobalt and hhr where basically the same as far as the base structure it was mostly all body differences.

I think @Karter2026 is right. Parts page shows it being the same for multiple models: https://www.detroitaxle.com/shop/st...sembly-chevy-cobalt-hhr-pontiac-g5-saturn-ion

Yep, looks identical to mine....got

mine from Detroit Axle

That sure looks the same to me. Thanks. I'm removing the tie rod ends, correct? They stay on the rear of the car?

 

[Karter2026]

Yes you will get some shorter tie rod ends for the front. The original fronts get moved to the rear

I'll bet that has a different meaning on other forums!

Yeah, I chuckled when I first read that too. Double-Entendre.

Yeah..... I'm kinda new to the family and wondered what the reaction would be. Good new is that now a cobalt steering colum should mate to my rack and pinion.

While I have your attention, can I cut the bottom off of my fuse /breaker box?

I found the fusebox was a little floppy, so i added a strap on the back that goes to the engine, and to my fuel filter. Up to you!

Good info. Maybe I'll leave it on for a bit.
