johnc Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 If its just the steering you want to upgrade: 1. Rebuilt steering rack. 2. Polyurethane rack mount bushings. 3. Poly steering coupler. 4. New Nissan tie rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 240hybrid Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 What do you guys think of those ABS plastic steering couplers?? I heard they're supposed to increase steering response aren't they? But being soo stiff, the steering wheel is more prone to jerking around when hitting bumps, etc. . Just curious, I removed one from my 240 and replaced it with a new poly one. If you're looking to upgrade the entire rack to a power steering rack.... http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22210&highlight= http://zcar.netdojo.com/steering.htm Chase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I don't mind my G Machine solid steering coupler. Someone here got inventive and used a hockey puck. I don't think there is much practical difference in feel between a solid one and a poly one. Neither one is going to flex much. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides what has already been mentioned thats it I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
