I am pondering going to a Manual Rack! It looks like the change over would be very simple as long as I get a 15 1/2" OC rack. Does anyone have any major positives or negatives of changing to a manual rack on the MII? Reasons: - Tired of a leaking hoses, tank, fittings - Less clutter in the engine compartment - Robs a horsepower or two - I pretty much only drive my MII to the Drag strip and car shows (no driving that requires a lot of turning ) Chad
Hi Chad, I converted my Mustang to Manual steering a few years ago now, for the same reasons you stated! & I have found no problems with it, maybe its a little heavy at slow speed/parking, but other than that I feel it drives better than with power steering, all you need is the manual rack & the steering link from the base of the steering column, (its longer) Nice looking car btw! whats it run at the drags? cheers, Dave.(in a cold & wet England!!)
