Mine was done whilst changing the rack sorry but found this on NASIOC which might be helpful?...........
Sti Solid steering column linkage
I've been meaning to post this, and was going to do a diy thread but didn't take pics.....
but....the install is very straight foward, its pretty much the same install for steering rack bushings. If you are going to do this mod and don't have steering rack bushings yet, now would be perfect time to do.
unbolt the steering rack bushing clamps, the 4 bolts on the center jacking plate, mark position, loosen both coupler bolts.
drop the rack, slide off old rubber damper wrx coupler, install 04-07 sti steering linkage coupler. You should have someone sit in the car and hold the steering wheel in place, or use bunjee cord, tow straps. Use a towel so the straps wont leave marks on nice leather steering wheel. Nice places to mount straps are "oh shxt handles", door lock mounts on b pillar, ebake, head rest.
I had no problems sliding back in and aligning mine. I might have been off by 1 tooth but I had alignment done soon after.
cn: Good mod, worth doing. More direct and precise steering, less wobble and vague-ness. I also feel there is less "kick back"in the steering wheel, also less dead center feeling
I don't know the part number or how much the price but I got mine cheap for ~35 shipped in the classifieds awhile ago and finally installed in cpl months ago.
If you guys can get this at a decent price i think you guys should try it. I felt much more from this mod compared to steering rack bushings.
