Hey guys, I'll be changing my Rack and Pinion for the second time this
weekend. The first one (factory) blew a seal at 45000 miles. The Lifetime
warranty Autozone (yeah, I know, but start into me) one leaks around from the
pinion seal. I've lived with it for a while, but it is starting to get worse,
and I don't want to take a chance on my p/s pump running dry if I forget to
check it.

I'd rather not spring for a realignment after this, just to set the toe.
Please give me some ideas on how to set the toe in my driveway and get it
close. I know all that about counting the turns on the shafts when removing,
but this only works when the replacement part is 'exactly' identical to the
old part, and I don't trust it, I'd like to measure it somehow.
