The misses has a 99 model, i think you would need the whole lot mate, price it out is the best way at the wreckers

You need to replace the rack. Manual and power racks are totally different internally.

Not without checking prices of parts. Ring around a few wreckers a find out. If you cant do it yourself, factor in 2 or 3 hours labour and a wheel alignment.
A rough guess would be $750 to $800 all up. |

Mate I got a 99 Trio S which has had power steering fitted before I got it. Had the rack overhauled recently and the guy told me it was out of a Mazda 121. He ordered Festiva seals for it but they wouldn't fit. That's when he realised it was Mazda. I guess the pump and hoses would be Mazda too. Hope this helps....
