Swapping in a quicker ratio rack: who has done it? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

1991 Corvette ZR-1 · 05-15-2024

Hey guys, I was curious who has done a quick steer conversion on these cars and how they like it. I have a fresh rack with 0 miles on it from Turn One that was rebuilt for an 85. While it was with Junior years ago, he called me to give an update on the rebuild. It was a standard rack and I asked if he had some quick ratio parts around. I lucked out as he had some parts and he installed them.

Never got to use the rack, I got rid of the 85. I had the factory rack in the ZR-1 rebuilt by Turn One as well a while back thinking it would fix my high speed slop issue. Unfortunately, it feels like I never pulled the rack for a rebuild. Everything feels numb at speed. I rebuilt the PS pump a while back thinking that might also help, but no change. I may be spoiled by the quicker steering of my daily driver with FWD.

The quick ratio rack is about 2 full turns, lock to lock. I know I will need longer tie rods, but if anyone has a recommendation on a brand to use with an 85 rack, I?ll take it.
