hoov100 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 when i first bought the car the power steering was draining its tank in 20 minutes, so i cut the belt and forgot about it, well now its tiem to get back to it, all of my PS lines are shot the pump is shot and the rack needs a rebuild, now at the local jyard their is a rebuilt manual rack that i kinda stashed inside another car for future purchase, now would a 240z rack fit in its place using z31 tie rods? or is there more involved? or should i just buy another z31 PS rack and convert the rack to manual?

Administrators BRAAP Posted August 14, 2007 Administrators Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hoov, The Z-31 utilizes a “rear†steer rack, like the 280-ZX. The 240, 260 and 280 Z cars utilize a front steer rack and as such, the 240 rack will not work in the Z-31. The rack moves the opposite direction. At any rate, maybe one of the S-130 guys will chime in with info regarding the manual steering options for the 280-ZX as that may be an option for you. John Coffey, Tube80Z, Blueoval Z etc, would know what modifications can be performed, if any, to convert a power rack to manual. Ps, I took care of your other post as well. Good luck, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
