Is there such a thing as a non power steering rack for the 4x4 cos or 1 that will fit as i want to remove the power steering off the mk3, is there a aftermarket quick rack type or simlar

 

any ideas

 

presumambly one would fit a 2wd x member but to fit it to a 4x4 x member I guess you would need to weld on new brackets to the rack

think its only us looking

 

just take the pipes off and use corsa or punto electric type i have a pinto one
you can user

 

Andys is just a 1.6 non power steering rack with corsa motor & fancy control unit works a treat

 

its the mounting thats dificult carlo andy has a differrent one off sub frame

 

Im sure you could rig it up mate

 

ye thats it, and i dont want the weight of the electric motor either

 

Dont think its that heavy is it ?

 

you will need wheatabix and big arms then lol

 

Why would you want to remove the p/s?? Do you need the space or just want a manual rack?? If its the later you will regret loosing the power assistance.

 

i used to run my pug with the pump removed & it was a pig when stood but ok on the move

wenny we will drop the belt off on wed night so you can see what its like

its a bit heavyer with fluid still in the rack

 

martin weight is the enemy

 

a power rack with the pump removed is far heavier to run that a non powered rack on the same car taking the belt off won't prove anything

thats only cos you are having to push everything about without help

ifr you disconectr trhe pipers itr will just become passive job done

 

as jacko said with the fluid out its easyer

i did ford fair n the nail last year with no pas belt as the tenshioner bolt snaped on the run down never stoped me doing the track time & getting home again

 

yes its just to save weight and maybe slight power running the pump
i might fit the corsa c pump to the column if the steerings to heavy
