So I decided to buy a 2015 STi steering rack instead of using my 06 one. Employee cost at subaru was $600 from a friend. Somehow the subaru parts website I bought it from gave me wholesale, and on top of that I was able to add their 20% off which expires on the 29th. Shipped to my door was $566. couldn't pass it up.

I know that I need to cut 10mm of each inner outer tie rod end, and use a thinner nut. Connecting the fittings will be hard as they are on opposite ends. My question is about depowering. I found this thread - http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2596613

Should I remove the main seal like everyone's write up here, or just cut it like in the thread above?
