    In response to cla55ic

I'll post the idler measurements tomorrow.

With factory power steering, the driver side inner tie rod is longer and the sleeve that connects it to the outer tie rod is shorter, making the whole assembly the same length overall. So just look at the sleeves, the difference is about 2 inches, if yours are the same then it doesn't have the PS specific parts.

Just FYI, it's actually cheaper to restore the OEM valve than get the new replacement. I sell a lot of the replacements (I'm the manufacturer) so I'm not knocking it, but as far as cost goes, even factoring in having the OEM core left over when using the replacement, restoring the original is cheaper.
