Re: Steering rack rebuild kit?

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that the rack is leaking badly. Were you able to find the source of the leaks?

Re: Steering rack rebuild kit?

Does anyone have a picture of a speed sensing vs RPM sensing rack? I picked one up for free and am going to rebuild it, but don't know which I have.

Also, is that little triangular block that the passenger side line plugs into threaded into the rack body? Or attached in some other way?

Edit: I suppose it's too much to hope that an STi rack is compatible with the SVX?

If that " little triangular block " has the wiring going to it, it is 'speed sensing'. That block has the solenoid operated valve in it, screws to the rack, that has the holes for the oil, and screws.
The RPM one only has a flat surface there, no holes.

Re: Steering rack rebuild kit?

Thanks Harvey, I figured that was the speed sensing part of the contraption. The block I was referring to is on the other side of the rack though, shown in the picture. I'm just wondering how the two points circled are attached to the cylinder body and if they are potential leak paths.

Of course, just like any other typical Rack and pinion car. Both inner and outer tie rod ends are replaceable.

well this was something I was planning on doing myself, but after looking at that beast out of the car I am a little worried that I wouldnt be able to do it myself.
