mk quick rack
Hi,
Am i right in thinking the quick rack from MK is shortened (ready to fit) and is 2.8 turns? does anybody know how much it is?
Thanks

yes on both.
last time i checked, when i got one, they were £105 so probably a bit more on top now. you'd be best to ring them for a price.

Hmm, my MK quick rack turns just over 3.
Did they set me up on this (too)?

Hi just out of interest are you actually getting a quicker ratio or are you just getting a lesser movement of the wheel due to the shortening process.
Just because the wheel dose not turn as far dose not mean it is a different ratio on the rack and pinion if you see what i mean.
Has anyone actually worked out the ratios of the rack bar and pinion ?.
I only ask as i have an escort rack in the workshop that was sold as a quick rack . But acctually had lockstops fitted just giving less movment.
Clearly not an actual increace in the ratio it's self unlike the real quick racks which have a different ratio rack bar and pinion.
Cheers Matt

it's definitely a different ratio. i meant to measure the rack movement per turn when i put it in, but it completely slipped my mind.
mine's 3 turns from wheel touching wishbone to wheel touching wishbone. it used to be 4 and a half and the wheels got nowhere near.
it means i now need to get round to some rack stops...........but it definitely is quicker.
