Manual rack and pinion - turns lock to lock?
I did a quick search and found nothing.

I'm looking for how many turns lock to lock the manual rack and pinion steering is from a base model FC.

Thanks!

I searched "steering rack ratio" which yielded this thread:

Weird, I just found my manual rack and it takes 3.6 turns lock to lock.

Anyways, thanks for the info guys. I didn't think I had a rack here to check.

Found in the Standard Features and Options sticky thread found at the top of this section as well as the new member technical section:

3.6 for manual racks, 2.7 for power racks.
