This description is also in the Ford Service Highlights Manual (light blue cover). This manual is IMHO the only official overhaul manual that describes rebuilding a Pantera steering rack in detail. It is (or once was) sold quite reasonably thru PI Motorsports. It also contains much info on pushbutton-Pantera special body/chassis features.
