AE86/5 WHAT STEERING RACK WILL FIT

Postby SKDTOY » Mon Dec 12, 2005 4:11 pm

Hi
Im looking for a non power steer rack for my ae85 and need to find one that fits .
The obvious is an AE85 non power rack but good luck finding them.
so I heard that an AE70 might fit is this true .Any help would be great.
Cheers.

AE70 and KE70 should fit into the mounts on the crossmember.

I recall reading on a site ages ago about a guy putting an ae86 rack into his aw11, so in theory it would also be fine to do the reverse.
It was only the one site however & I no longer have the link, so you would want to confirm with someone or at least measure up and check pinion position.

only if you also have the correct crossmember, as the power steer rack needs a bigger clamp on the R/H/S.
find a rusty KE70 and get the crossmember as well. cut the rack mounts off and zap them onto a AE86 crosmember. alternatively, find a TE71 crossmember and rack, as the engine mounts are very similar.
I've been a bad bad boy. I should read the rules and behave before I get spanked by an admin

f#@k you i won't do what ya tell me

Thta's what i meant, the mounts are different on power steer crossmember so you can choose to get manual ae70 crossmember or modify like Joe said

Ahhh gotcha.

Think ill just use my original power steering then. :lol:
Buying an other crossmember and rack will cost just as much as setting up my power steering anyway.
Plus all the effort woth the change over.Lazy as hell

Cheers for your help guys. :wink:
