(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) is there any differances between steering rack's fitted over the yrs and between the /4's & /6's ? Lock to lock ratio? serviceability?

parts book says they're alla same.
however - many 911's also use the exact same rack (same 914 part number and everything - Porsche liked the 914 dsign so much they used it in subsequent cars.

it's possible someone has retrofitted an early 911 rack into your car.
looks like the change occurred right around '71-'72 for 911.

does your mystery rack have a part or casting number ?
