    I checked my SPID and do not have NV7 but have found through some searching that the car could still have magnasteer? Is there a definitive way to tell without looking at the rack and pinion?

    turn the wheels to the right, then look from behind the driver side wheel to the rack boot area, if its got magnasteer it will have a wire leading up to the top of the tranny area.

    see the plug hanging off the bottom? that plug will lead up to the tranny. your pic is of the bottom of the rack, its of no help to see a wire.

    So I pulled the fuse that goes to the abs and all of that and didn't really feel any difference. Would it be a major difference?
