AE86 rack and pinion in my ra23 Mon, 28 November 2005 05:39 Go to previous message
Ok, so I know this horse has been beaten to death, but I am seriously going to try and get it done.

I have access to a ‘84 AE86 manual R&P steering. The front end of this car is totally complete, to include the struts and rotors. I also have found a '80 Cressida as well, fully complete front end.

The engine is being swaped to a 18rgeu with a a 18rc sump. crossmember is going to stay stock 18R.

What parts do I need to get off this car/cars to make the rack and pinion work in my ra23? I know the rack and the lower part of the steering column, but what about the knuckles and the tie rod ends?

I am trying to make this swap as painless as possible. I am considering getting the whole front end off them both and using the parts as I need them. But I would really like to avoid getting the whole thing if I can. i might seriously be using the AE86 breaks and struts, for the breaking upgrade

I know the advantages of having the rack are outstanding, but is the work that it is going to take really worth it? How long will my car be out of use? Other than welding in the rack mounting brackets, what other fabbing/custom parts will I need to make this work well?

Any help from anyone is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Ryan
