4th gen k-member into 3rd gen
Just wondering : since it kinda hard to get rcak and pinion steering into our cars is it possible to swap a 4th gen k-member in to then have all the advantges of a stock rack&pinion?

A 4th gen has a completly different suspension design (SLA) than a 3rd gen so it's not a simple act of getting it to bolt up. Even if it did bolt up the reason why people can't get a rack and pinion to work well with a 3rd gen is the spindle design, it's simply designed for a linkage system.
Anythign can be made to work well, it's just a matter of how much you want to spend and how much you are willing to work for it.
