Steering rack

[bonesxu1]

My VY Ute rack is leaking atf into the gators and could probably do with a rebuild or replacing. Any idea of how much a replacement quick rack would cost and where to get one in the U.K?

Try peddlers UK or Neil Johnson or Brett speed4u possibly raving as well and walkinshaw performance and topcats

Super! I would prefer a new/recon rack rather than second hand one so I think I'll give Pedders a call. I have dealt with Kiley Clinton before for a quick rack for my Chevette years ago and they are very helpful. Thanks..

I did the pedders on mine and for what it is it’s not that much either

Something I find a pain with the Monaro is the slow steering. Is the quick rack that’s available a big improvement over the original?

It's better for sure but not massive in my opinion not much difference unless major manoeuvring for example lock to lock, before anybody says Yes i have front end pack to, don't also expect it to be anywhere as good as electric power steering.

The pedders rack is not a quick rack it’s just the standard rack that was fitted to au cars , i think it’s a lot better i did mine ages ago and it means you can actually steer the car lol

I thought the VXR cars had a slightly different ratio than a CV8??

Hi i think the vxr one is different , possibly the same spec as the pedders rack , mine was a cv8 and the rack swap was a good mod and a lot less turns than normal , the cv8 racks were changed for the uk market for some reason , the pedders one is probably standard on the vxr but a cv8 gets the not very good one , mini roundabouts became much easier to turn on unlike the old rack which felt like steering a ship lol

No, all uk cars got the slow rack. Why? Who knows!

I'll see what I can find and maybe try and find a quicker rack.

The pedders one is a good rack , car is a lot better and drives like a normal car , the racks are probably easily available through the effectively MF as that’s what MF was also running , plus you have a warranty
