What Steering Box
Im Building The Bob Sharp Race Car, And Am Wondering Which Type Of Steering Is Better For Racing. I Have Both The Recirculating Ball Steering Or The Rack And Pinion At My Finger Tips.

Well the power steering recirc. ball version had the quickest ratio of all the ZX steering systems. I usually prefer R&P though for it's feel but I've HEARD (never verified) some bad things about the R&P on these cars as being sloppy. I'd get a second opinion on that though cause I've never even driven the R&P version.

I've owned both and I prefer the ball type. My 81 with the r&p was nowhere near as responsive as my 80 with recirculating ball. I agree with J, Rack and Pinion is fundamentally a better system, but the type used in the S130 was a little iffy. ... ... Rod.

79-81 non turbo with power steering got the box (2.7 turns lock to lock)
82-83 non turbo with power steering got the rack (3.2 turns lock to lock)
All Turbo and manual steering cars got the rack (3.5 turns lock to lock)
82-83 non turbo with power steering got the rack (3.2 turns lock to lock)
