I fitted a rack that came off a 2.5TD to my 2.9 12V.

I believe its only the 24v that has the sensotronic connection that is different from any others.

The steering racks are all the same size physically , As Chad states the 24 v has sensotronic but even that rack would fit you just would not be able to connect up the wiring .

Cheers guys.
Does my car require this wiring?if not would it work?My steering, at the moment,is acting very skitish,unsure at speed.You can hold it straight,gust of wind,it drifts and I have to constantly recorrect ,only slightly,but frustratingly.Would the rack still work without the wiring on this basic model? ???

I can notice a real difference when I get into the 2.3, the whole car is more responsive, just because the steering has some feel.

I have often wondered if my rack is duff cos it does the same thing you described, i have never felt it firm up yet.

Dunno if you need the wiring connected mate, but im interested to find out, i know where there is a 2.3 in a breakers, rack change coming.

Over to you guys

Nic,So it's you and me both mate!
Gaz,your right,I fully intend to change the wishbones at the same time,if I can just get a rack!(sounds tortureous I know!) You can get referbs but the ford rack is £800.Referbs £250!still a lot of dosh for a 9 year old car! wishbones £100 each(had the linkage arms done £46 each) The wishbones by the way are ford parts only!Thats it! I've had enough,take me to the rack! ;D ;D
