Nice Job!
I jumped into some serious (for me) work on my 2000 ttq wishing I had this type of info but I was too impatient to look very long. I've taken a month so far ( while working full time at my "paying job" to change the clutch disc, cv axles, shocks and springs, motor and trans.mounts, timing belt with tensioner and idler pullies, water pump and instrument cluster. I'm beat but not licked and I still have about a week's worth left with final assembly, bleeding and tune-up. Before this the toughest I'd tackled was a head gasket on a taurus. If I'd taken pix and done a step by step, you'd all have good documentation on how NOT to do it.

Just so that some peeps can know that this awesome thread exists!!!
I'll be replacing my rack this weekend... Luckily I found a rack from a 2006 w/ 39k miles, for just only $200 shipped
Think I might replace my ball joints while I'm in there and then off to get an alignment. Wish me luck!!!
