2nd Gen. RX7 R&P...

Hey guys,

I just scored a 2nd Gen. RX7 power rack and pinion and was wondering if it would work on my 64? I didn't know what it was off of til I got it home. It was brand new and didn't cost me anything so I figured either way it was worth finding out if it would work. Is it going to be too small or do you guys think I can get it to work?

Thanks
Keith

Reguardless of whatever else it may take to make it physically fit in the truck, the most important factor is the length of the main unit (where the inner tie-rods connect) The pivot point of the inner tie-rods must be the same width as the distance between the ball-joint holes on the center link (the rod between the steering arm and the idler arm). If they are not the same you will have bump-steer problems (odd handling)

Thanks LongHair!


I havent measured yet cause I have decided it is not going to be strong enough, but I know it is VERY close just by looking so I will check it out just for the hell of it.
