Guest rickim24 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hello, new 77 280z owner here. I've been searching the forums and saw a bunch of stuff about the mustang,miata, and subaru powersteering swaps, but only saw one thread about a 280zx rack and pinion power steering swap. I was just wondering which rack and pinion would be easiest? I was thinking the 280zx rack would be easiest, and wanted to know what others who have done PS swaps think? Thanks. P.S.: I'm talking about the 280zx rack, not recirculating ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcarnut Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 You need to read the posts more closely…The 280ZX (S130) steering rack is positioned behind the front axles whereas the S30 rack is in front of the axle. So, the rack movement in reponse to a steering wheel rotation is opposite. What the guy did to use a 280ZX rack was to get one off a right-hand-drive (RHD) car and flip it over to use it on a S30. RHD S130’s are very rare in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
