steering rack repair


Crazy K

Recommended Posts

so... I have a 2.25 ratio rack which came out of my 95 Cs LQ1, and it is a NV7 magna-steer option.

 

the upper seal where the steering hooks up needs to be replaced. is that available, or am I screwed?

I'd give you sound advise but I'm sure you'll ignore it, again.

thanks, jerk! j/k remember, I'm getting paid to fix the car, and I have to do it twice if I fuck up.

 

no, seriously, it's a bad seal at the top, I already pulled it out. do they have replacements available?

 

 

 

and I did post in the wrong section, my bad!!! :redface:

2.25 was tgp only ken :wink: at best you have a 2.50

 

and no, the seal kits arent available anymore

it is a 2.25... i known 2 and 1/4 turns of the rack in my hand when i turn it. That is 360 x 2 plus another 90 degrees... or 810 degrees. it is from a 95 3.4 NV7 car, BTW... But the rack may be a replacement, as the clockspring in that car's column was broken, meaning something was disconnected and improperly fixed...

 

I also have:

2 5/8 turns (2.65???)

2 3/4 turns 2.75

3 turns aka 3.00

p.s. aren't the gps with B4U siding supposed to be 2.25, or is that a myth?

riddle me this. there is a marking on each rack identifying it. that mark is on the dust cap opposite of the steering input shaft.

 

What does your TGP rack have on it's cap?

 

I have....

AH = 2.25

ZM = 2 5/8 (2.625?)

AN = 2.75

YS = 3.00

the 95 3.4 NV7 rack is a 2.25 ratio rack. damn did i have a hard time making a turn today... :lol:

 

2.25 is TSTE and TGP only.. I dont feel like arguing this point anymore :lol:

i had a passenger who witnessed the limits of the steering. It is definitively a 2.25 ratio rack. do you want a ride in this car so you can see for yourself, baby?

 

 

p.s. I'm going rack hunting tomorrow. hope one of the 3.4 cars in the yard has the NV7 option....
