steering rack - stupid question..
 

My power steering rack is leaking.
I see a lot of people offering racks in the net for around 90 US.
But they ask difficult questions like
with or without performance suspension
1 piece or 2 piece bushes

Is there some easy to tell what I have or maybe a link to a web site with this info? Does the rack have a part number somewhere on it that covers all these points?

Bump!
so I have

• power rack-and.pinion steering w/ 15:1 ratio
• handling suspension incl.
  - Variable rate springs
  - gas pressurised struts & shocks
  - Quadra shock rear suspension

So do I need a steering rack for performance suspension?

Thanks

Yes, get the one with the 15:1 Ratio. That is the one used on handling suspension which is mustangs with factory 5.0 from 1983? on. 15:1 basically means less turns from lock to lock (turning the wheel from one side all the way to the other), which in turn makes it more sensitive to slighter steering wheel turns. In other words it makes the steering feel more responsive, instead of like an old cadillac.

Thanks, I did order the 15:1 ratio on Friday.
They asked if I wanted air freight which was circa 180 bucks but I was not in a hurry so I took the US post option which was 90 bucks. It arrived here in central Europe on my doorstep this morning - under 4 days by US post.
I am still waiting for the ball joint seperator that I ordered in Germany (next country) last week.
