LHD/RHD Steering Racks

Post by mattler »

Can anyone tell me if the power steering rack for the SW20 Turbo is the same rack for LHD and RHD models just mounted the other way around or is it 2 separate part numbers for LHD/RHD variants?
Thanks
Matt

LHD 44250-17060

Thanks Jimi
I had a feeling they would be different. LHD racks don`t seem to exist for sale anywhere.
did you get my PM by the way ;)

I did indeed get it and to my shame promptly forgot to reply :blush: However I will reply when I get a chance, I'll say this, it never fails to amaze me just how small a world offshore is ;)

Ok so my next mission is to find a LHD steering rack. All the listings on USA Ebay seem to be RHD and every google hit in USA brings "item unavailable"
Any ideas anyone?

Well, after spending my entire afternoon searching the globe for one(with no success)
It looks like I'm going to be turning to quaife to custom build me one.
As it's one of the few components left on the car that isn't new I think this is the right way to go

Currently out of stock, but it might be worth contacting them. I got a brand new alternator for my MK1 from them for a decent price.
