Hi all,
My questions centers around the turning ratio's of the racks. Are there different ones or are all 914 racks the same? I remember a while ago - maybe years - someone posting a 914/6 GT rack saying the turning ratio was different than stock. Then I think I saw someone say they had a different ratio rack, but I can't find those posts, or confirm any information on them. So...are there any steering racks with better ratio's than stock? i.e. turn the steering wheel less to get more turn of the wheels? thanks all |

As a core supplier, The 911 and 914 manual rack are the same with a different part number. Turn ratio is 2.750 turns lock to lock.
We think that the 911 Turbo could be different, but never have been able to get a sample. |

Don't care Mark .... you can argue with A1/Cardone, ATSCO and the other rack rebuilders. Those are the specs they operate by. |
