Steering Rack Compatibility

Recommended Posts

Apologies for asking, I tried the search but at my age will probably die before I can read all the results that came back :)

 

Question is: will a rack from a '90/91 G60 be identical with the one in my '90 16V?

 

I have a suspicion I've read somewhere they have slightly different ratios so don't want to buy something that ain't a straight swap. Also, I have no idea what the part no is on mine, and sadly am not in a position to check it in near future either.

 

I'm sure that someone here will know the answer straight off so thanks in advance.

Carefull mate,

I had the same problem with

my rack,'90 models have more spleens

on the input shaft compared to '91 onwards

racks,later types have 22 splines were's '89/'90

ones had 36 splines.The two aren't interchangable

because you'd have to also change the two UJs that connect

the rack to the steering colum,only 320euros from stealer...

Ah cheers veedubbed I just had a feeling in my water that there was something different about the gearing. I'll still try to find definitive answer and post result if I get one.
