you'll feel the car pull more stronger. I had mine replaced a couple months ago, due to slippage.

Be ready to go fishing ...... the upper stater bolt is going to be the best part of your day.
Have a couple long extentions and some universal joints or someone with really skinny yet long arms.

Best tip of all...get the manual, and follow it to the T. There are many thigs that can be damaged if you don't do it by the book.

ok 1 tidbit:

Steering coupler...with the steering unlocked, loosen the top bolt, and remove the bottom. Use a marker to matchmark the coupler to the steering rack.
NOW....pull the key out of the ignition and lock the steering. THEN slide the steering couple upwards and off the rack.
If you don't do this, and the steering wheel is allowed to rotate 360, you will break the cable reel in the column.

Follow the Service manual. It doesn't mislead you on this job.
