Tightening up the steering October 24, 2005, 12:02:47 PM Ok, the TC has this problem. It's got luxury car steering. To easy and no feedback!! I'm looking for steering more like the Mustangs I had, and my SHO. Something with tension there, and good feedback. Is this in the pump or the valving in the rack? Can I swap a Mustang rack and get what I'm looking for? Quote Selected
Tightening up the steering Reply #1 – October 24, 2005, 01:00:49 PM I thought all TC's came with a 15:1 rack. Maybe someone swaped in a 20:1 on yah. :) Quote Selected
Tightening up the steering Reply #2 – October 24, 2005, 01:02:43 PM its rather funny, my power steering was run without fluid for a few months before i got it...now the steering is night and tight and responsivethe 14.7 racks are better than the 18:1 (?) racks that came in the earlier cars, but theyre still kinda squishy feeling Quote Selected

Tightening up the steering Reply #5 – October 24, 2005, 02:39:28 PM I know it was changed once. Actually, not long before I got it. So, I have one from a donor Mustang. It's a '90 LX. Will it work? Quote Selected
