Steering Rack

[arwel 43 2 Cars]

Am I right in thinking that the 306 GTI6 and Xsara Vts racks are the same?

[welshpug 1,655]

no.

Ahhhh.. do they not fit or are they a different lock to lock ratio?

[dcc 855]

different lock speed

I currently have a totally standard manual rack on 1.9 rally car. Im looking to improve on that with a power steering set up. A Xsara Vts rack is 2.4 and the 306Gti6 is 2.9 and my current rack is 3.9. Im guessing a 306 rack would still be a fairly substantial improvement over the current set up?

gti6 is more than 2.9 I'm fairly certain, IIRC more like 3.9 but limited by 1/3rd of a turn due to the gearbox.

 

to fit they are identical to a phase1 xsara.

A gti6 rack may well be 2.9 lock to lock but the locks restricted one way to stop the wheel fouling the gearbox remember
