enduro 0 Posted September 13, 2011 can a pas rack be fitted into the base model / tu cars, or is there simply not room for it, fouling on the downpipe perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,002 Posted September 13, 2011 Fouls on the gear linkage from memory - if you do a search for posts by Adam_P you should find pictures of the issues when he tried to fit a PAS rack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enduro 0 Posted September 14, 2011 would that still be the case though with the ram removed which is how i intended? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuart1298 6 Posted September 14, 2011 Surely if you remove the ram. You lose the power steering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted September 14, 2011 If you are doing it for a quicker rack then it fits fine as I did it - hated it though as there was too much play in the PAS rack IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul_13 212 1 Cars Posted September 14, 2011 A base model diesel manages it, pas pump on the gearbox though. Hang on BE gearbox not Ma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeorgeXS 32 Posted September 15, 2011 Nope doesnt fit. Gear linkage fouls the rack even with the ram removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted September 16, 2011 This is very strange as I did this on my old rallye. I'm just wondering if I was using the modified GTI subframe at that time and if it would make any diff but I don't think so! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackTar 0 Posted September 28, 2011 What about fitting a PAS rack to a CTi subframe, because they're the same as a CJ aren't they? So won't the rack still foul the gear linkages? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BERTMAN 40 1 Cars Posted September 29, 2011 BE4r gearbox conversion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,646 Posted September 29, 2011 BE4r gearbox conversion? This!! looking through servicebox no MA boxed 205 or 309 ever had PAS, it was all the XU engines which kinda makes sense as they are heavier and had wider tyres. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonb_5 6 Posted September 29, 2011 Sorry to hi-jack the thread but if power steering doesn't fit can you fit a quicker rack to it, i.e. different size cogs to make turning quicker? Jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
