If TE and TF Cortinas are the same track in the front, start searching for one that has it.

Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with manual steer in these models. Just make sure you've got between 1 and 1.5 degrees positive caster and it'll be suitable. Anymore and it'll start getting heavy

Please read the manual carefully, as the these manufacturers spent millions of dollars making sure it is perfect.....Now why are there so many problems with my car, when I follow the instructions to the letter?....Answer, majority rules round here


Lock me up and throw away the key because I'm a hoon....I got caught doing 59 in a 60 zone
