Thread: Manual racks

I should be a little clearer. Im aware 15:1 is a quicker ratio therefore less turns, but is that a good idea to have. as well keeping in mind it gunna be a street and weekend drag car

15:1 for sure unless u have no arms lmao. I dont see any negatives at all...

I have the 20:1 manual rack in my '89 and it's been great. The effort is high at parking lot speeds, but once you're moving it's fine. At the time I got mine, the 20:1 was the only option and it does require noticeably more turns of the steering wheel to get around corners. If I had to do it over again, I'd go for the 15:1.

x2 to Dino....lots of turns

Keep the power steering.

I agree with LX89. If it aint broke, dont fix it! On a street car, power steering is nice to have. Very little HP and minimal weight savings with a manual setup.

Well one of the reasons I'm looking at manual is because the power steering is broke. Needs new lines, pump and rack...
