must be a rare laser --- people wrecking or have parts for this

some old listings

maybe its the turbo fwd .. part throwing off the search engines

have you asked http://www.acdelco.com.au/steering.html

KE (Excluding 3 Speed Auto)Oct85-Sep87ACS1646
KE (3 Speed Auto)Oct87-Feb90ACS1646
KE 4WDOct87-Feb90ACS1626

or is fordlaser.com any help ?

if a std 88 ke laser non turbo is different
looks like you may have to have your unit rebuilt by a pro

yes you can by the ends ..

Thank you for your reply. I put a post on fordlaser.com hoping someone who have a good one laying around. A standard kc/ke rack will fit apparently - just not the 4wd version. Perhaps even a Mazda or Capri rack would work. Would like to avoid having to rebuild if possible.
