The input shaft measures 0.688 inches in diameter and 1 inch in length, ensuring compatibility with the steering column interface. The rack length of 47 inches supports the steering geometry of the Mitsubishi Galant and Plymouth Laser. Included inner tie rods facilitate installation, while the absence of bushings and outer tie rods means these components must be sourced separately if needed. Thread sizes for pressure and return ports are M14x1.50 and M16x1.50 respectively, matching OEM hydraulic line fittings. The steering ratio is defined by 3.125 turns lock to lock, providing responsive steering control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Common Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores steering precision in Mitsubishi Galant models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces worn or damaged rack and pinion in Plymouth Laser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses hydraulic steering fluid leaks and pressure loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrects excessive play or looseness in steering response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolves uneven or difficult steering effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the BBB Industries 309-0105 rack and pinion assembly, ensure the hydraulic lines match the specified M14x1.50 and M16x1.50 thread sizes.
