Wide Track Steering Rack
mattpilmoor - 18/1/05 at 09:35 AM

Hi
What's the best steering rack to use? I'm using a wide track cortina rear axle.

I'd quite like to widen the track at the front but am unsure about a steering rack to match up to the cortina uprights.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Matt

I'd stick with the standard length front wishbones. You know they work (geometry wise) and Jon Ison and Jasper have proved that that they work with a Cortina back axle.

HTH,
James

Book Escort rack is a too wide between the inner joints ----- if you go wide track all you need is track rod extenders.

I'll go with (castor corrected) book wishbones then.
Thanks
