Power steering rack ratio

Stang951 · 04-28-2001, 01:34 PM

Does anyone know what rack had the performance ratios. I need to replace the rack and I want to get the performance rack. Carquest near me has several racks but I am not sure which one to get.

There is supposed to be one that has a 17.5:1 ratio. The ones that they have at Carquest are two differnt styles also. One is the Ford design and the other is the TRW design.

Too much to list. Best ET on the car so far with stock 2.73 gears - 13.73@102mph

I believe some of the mid 80's SVO's were 12:1. Other stangs are 15:1, and some of the other foxes (T-birds etc) were 18:1 like the lincoln.
