Steering rack?

1989GT · 10-28-2004, 07:48 PM

Well I posted this in corner carvers but haven't gotten any responses so I figured I try this one. So here we go.Okay well my power steering rack has about had it...it leaks quite a bit. And I was wondering what my options are for replacing it. I've heard of people swaping in a sn-95 steering rack but I'm not sure what the advantages of that are. Also I'm kicking around the idea of going to a manual rack. I'm aware of the obvious weight reduction but from a performance/cornering stand point is there any advantage to this. Thanks!

You will get a better "feel" or "feedback" from the road with a manual rack. I don't have one yet but the Flaming River piece is supposed to be the hot ticket.
