from my experience i dont think there is any difference between ra23/ra28 and ra40 models steering setup. correct me if im wrong somebody?
rack and pinion wasnt in any celicas until after the ra40 model i thought?? ra60 onwards, maybe sa63 even?
if you want a whole new rack & pinion setup theres a few who have performed this to older celicas/corollas, by utilizing AE71 r&p and fabricating/re-positioning all the mounts etc. onto the ra23 x-member roughly?? but i am not an expert on this at all..
i just replaced or re-built all the components in the entire steering setup, including new steering box internals, and addition of Roll-Centre-Adjusters(bump-steer spacers), to help correct the steering geometry from having lowered the car.
for improved steering with standard-type setup check or replace with new:
tie rod ends,
ball joints,
idler arm & pitman arm,
steering box internals & bushes,
roll centre adjusters,
nolathane bushes everywhere.
shocks/springs,
tyres/alignment,
sway bars..
this is what i found i had to do with my old ra28 to improve steering response and performance..
