The quick rack is much nicer on a twisty road and and I think the power assitance is a big benefit at low speeds. Exactly, and that's why the WC rally cars used them (but unassisted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right again. Any different to the above means you have a Stag rack fitted, or your re conditioner has built it to Stag specification (as they all seem to be doing these days).A Stag specification rack fitted incorrectly to a saloon makes for naff over assisted modern car type lack of feel horribleness.

Englishbull Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 So what you think would have been fitted to Aussie built 2500tc?..............only the one I just sold on behalf of Frank Ashton originally had a very light power steering rack that was a bit nervy to drive with.Everything was renewed nut still light and was told it was probably a quick rack???????.....................and it still hanging about in a garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenV8Machine Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Back to my question, do i change the spitty racks trackrods and balljoints, or just the track rod ends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 You need a new one right? I just asked Canley to make me a saloon rack with Spitfire ratio :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenV8Machine Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 will do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Poly bush it.I also suspect some PAS feel issues are down to NON-PAS sterring arms being fitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenV8Machine Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Polybushes are already on the way. 3 weeks turns around for the rack so got to whip one of another car tomorrow to send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I also recommend Chris Witor for the spit ratio rack and also recommend Alloy solid rack clamps ..........looking into mounting the rack higher 10-15mm to compensate the geometry of a lowered car. To help prevent jittery steering on bumpier B roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Note that Chris does two types of clamps - normal and decent quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
