sigma? (wouldnt i have to change the steering column?
|
You may possibly have to work out a clever way of joining the column to the box. I don't know because I haven't really looked into it in any great detail.

subframe? what the?
|
Our Mk2s have a subframe. The engine and suspension bolt up to this. This subframe bolts up to the body. It's the big black thing under the front half of the car!

isnt woeful bad?
|
Correct. The steering angles have been very carefully worked out by some poor Japanese engineer 30 years ago. Just whacking a rack or differnt box in there without due consideration of these angles could result in terrible steering and handling.

Will reconing make an improvement?
|
If your steering is sloppy and you have used all the adjustment, then recoing it will result in an improvement. However, I would check the usual suspects like worn tie rod ends and ball joints.

what do you use for the mx23?
|
I actually use the steering box. I fitted new tie rod ends and ball joints. I have ceramic coated the extractors to keep the heat down, and run a power steering fluid cooler.
