There is no S5 manual rack all S5 have PS.

The difference between racks is that the manual rack uses a differnt tirod end for one side

If you are buying a manual rack ,make sure it includes the pax side sub-frame mount as it's different from the PS ones and a pain to track down.

Its just the "shackles" that are different, and I think its just the right one thats bigger though it might be both.

Its easy to get them off from below without removing anything else.
