no but if you replace a 4x4 one you can fit an escort one and it has a better ratio for road use aswell, they are the same to look at only the internals are different or so I am told.

Yeh they look the same but are different.

I had a leaky rack on my esc cos and got a saph rack to put on while i got the escort one reconed. Wheels catches arch liner on full lock.

I am fitting new rack over Christmas and not looking forward to it as was a nightmare last time. Not difficult just awkward

I think you can still buy them new. That sounds like a ford rip off price.

Why not have it reconditioned. Its just cost me £158 with 12 mnth warranty.
