This shot of Steve C's new project car that has been converted to R&P may help

rack & pinion saga

Jeremy, thanks that picture does shed some light on it. I can see now that the rack from a 944 probably won't work as well due to the tie rods being so much shorter than the SB control arms - looks like it would introduce bump steer. I'm assuming that this rack is stock late model 1303.

anyone else care to join the discussion?

thanks!

john
