PS steering rack replacment -is there a better stock one?
I need a new PS rack, 87 S4 base.

Is there a year/model that has a better ratio that's a bolt in affair?

I'm changing all the lines ect so that does not matter.... just need it to bolt to the stock location, which I'm thinking any FC rack should without a problem.

T.I.A guys

Pretty sure all the turbo TII and S4s have a 15 something ratio. S5s have 17 something and all manual rack are more than that!

3 hole racks are 15:1, 2 hole's are 17:1, manuals are 20:1.
since you have knuckles, you'll prolly be fine with either of the PS racks' ratios.
