Guest Chez Roban69 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Hello - Are all 70-78 steering racks equiped w/ the same ratio? I've got the faster steering knuckles but want to go faster. Any ideas? Thanks, Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcarnut Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 No, the later 260/280Z rack is not as "quick" as the 240Z rack, but the difference is very slight. (I will look up the actual ratio numbers for you later.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chez Roban69 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Thanks Steve - After I posted the question I dug deeper into my svc. manual collection ( Haynes ) and all three ( 240-280 ) rack ratios are different. I'm not at home and haven't investigated further since, but I was thinking they got quicker through the years tho that might be just the opposite. Also, via the Internet Z club I found a thread that claims you can rebuild the main wear pcs. on the racks. Subsequently I tried to buy parts for my 260 and the dealer found no listing. I think all three racks are different and only the 240 rack is easily rebuildable. Thanks for your reply and I look forward to any added info.
