Sierra Column - Int shaft UJs

Looking to get rid of the bottom rubberised doughnut joint on the Sierra int shaft.


Are all Sierra rack pinions the same spline?


I have my eye on this shaft on ebay

Thanks

I've got a similar thread over here-

Seems the power steering racked Sierras ones have the wrong spline for the Escort rack (if that's what you have)

I think the same must apply. The splines on the Escort rack and the manual Sierra rack must be the same, just the power assisted rack that's bigger.

I used a Sierra joint on a Mk 2 escort rack, I think ford rack splines are fairly standard.

I presume the shaft still needs extending though?

But does the Sierra rack have the same spline as the escort one?

If it's manual I'd say yes. Anyone disagree?
