Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Rebuilding Steering Rack

[Fellippe Galletta (fellippe.galletta]

I'm curious too.

Reason to lean towards a faster rack is that the 308 is a smaller/sportier car compared to say a TR/Boxer type where the slower steering for high speed assault seems like a better match.

Also, I wonder how much of steering rack speed is liability vs. getting the feel right. Most street cars have more understeer and slower steering than needs to be I think.

What does the faster steering rack feel like at higher speeds?

I always thought the 308 steering felt perfect at 100+ mph.

These are pretty inexpensive.

If the boot is the problem you can try to find a Japanese half shaft boot that's close that might work 

And you say the steering is recirculating ball not rack and pinion?

Hmm

Friends,

 

My GT4 steering rack is leaking and I will remove it to rebuild but hoping some of you may have an idea about were to find some of the parts. I know it is a cam gear box and some of the parts can be replaced with Pantera parts but I have been told the boots do not fit and the plastic bushing is unobtainable?

Hoping for some advice or info

 

Thanks

 

Rob
