I stand by my original statement. Wanting aftermarket rack and pinion in place of the OEM steering box set up is only about saving weight...its not about safety.

I stand by mine too and I would assume you do not race a Mopar either.

If you are so smart and did some research, it is not a bolt-on deal for RWD cars that did not have it from the factory.
Although you remove components like you said, it is not a bolt on deal. You need to add a frame to support and provisions which adds weight to the car.

Just like the aftermarket seat thread, just because someone ask for a change, it does not mean that there is always an advantage.
