Has anyone had a steering rack depowered using the FM method? Assuming you had a steering specialist do the work, I am trying to get a ballpark figure to have this done..Cheers

I did mine myself. Just followed the instructions.
Make sure that you plug the coupling holes neatly so that is not obvious what you have done.

i did mine myself and welded the holes for the lines
it looked pretty factory really apart from being fatter than a non powered rack
