Torana steering - which rack?
Torana steering - which rack?
Hi guys
Does anyone know if Torana front mounted steering racks from LC to UC are the same and, if not, which is the best model to use on a HR front end?
Cheers, Steve

Re: Torana steering - which rack?
The LH was the rack they used for most of the conversion around including CRS, i'm not sure if LC/LJ are same length but i'd guess they would have a slighly narrower track the LH-UC.steved57 wrote:Hi guys

i've used both and i think the LC/LJ rack was better but we had to make extensions from the rack end to the tie rod end

How should these torana racks be greased/lubed??? Would I take off the two "plates" and grease with a heavy type of grease like axel grease??

A Torana forum might be the place to ask.
