manual rack help
Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2015 2:30 pm
Hello club4ag. I've been searching and searching and can't find a definitive answer. Seems to be alot of people running aw11 racks with no issues but heres my issue..
I just installed my aw11 manual rack into my car. Everything bolts up fine but having an issue with centering the rack. When I center my rack turn to turn, my drivers side tie rods are being held on with about 3 threads but my passenger side is threaded about an inch to 2 inches worth of threads. If I try to even out my threads I get less steering on one side than the other.
I read people saying that's what happens when you have an aw11 rack in an 86, but also read that they are just not centering the rack correctly. I'm pretty damn sure my rack is centered as I have an equal turn lock to lock but am I maybe using the wrong tie rods? Is the fact that I have a equal lock to lock means that my rack actually isn't centered?
I'm very sorry for asking something that has been covered ALOT, but something doesn't seem right. If its because I have a aw11 rack, then I can rest and be at ease, but I'd think I'd see more people saying it.
Thanks for all your help guys, I truly appreciate it.
