Hello everyone,
So I occasionally see ZF steering racks mentioned on this site and others. What is it and how is it different (if it is) from the stock 914-6 steering rack? Inquiring mind (me) wants to know. I used the search function and only came up with one mention of a ZF rack....but I am search challenged. Thanks for the info. Michael |

ZF stands for Zahnrad Fabrik, what translates to Gear Factory
but ... they are owned by the Zeppelin-Stiftung, what translates to Zeppelin-Foundation |

QUOTE(Gustl @ Nov 7 2011, 10:28 AM)  ZF stands for Zahnrad Fabrik, what translates to Gear Factory but ... they are owned by the Zeppelin-Stiftung, what translates to Zeppelin-Foundation Actually, my dad went to a training at ZF about 15 years ago and he told me that the F stands for Friedrichshafen, hence, Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen. Interesting fact is that Lemförder is part of ZF and the Z.S. |
