Default Sierra steering rack

Hi guys

Will a standard non power sierra rack fit in a sierra cosworth as I am going electric power steering and will maybe use the sierra rack with the quaiffe quick rack and pinion conversion?

Cheers Dave

Yes I have, just wondered if the 2wd knuckle will be OK to use with a standard sierra converted to quick rack?

there were a few different versions available and some had one uj in them and some had 2

Hi, you will need the non powered steering coupling as its longer than a std one. If you can replace the lower "rubber" jiont with a poly one or another u/j.
I run it on my 3 door rally car, one of the best things I have ever done!!
I use a std rack with the quaife kit in.
