Malbaby Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 I have 2 old TR racks, both with one base rib/flange on each cut at an angle....see pic. Presume that this is not factory?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Hi Malcom, same on my old steering rack on the drivers side, but not on the passenger side. I don’t know the sense for that angle, others may know? Ciao, Marco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Probably die cast like that to make the pinion housing universal for LHD & RHD applications. Cheaper manufacturing process having only one casting to machine for both applications. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 The angle is about 28°, based in the right green line on a horizontal surface the pinion is angled about 25° up, based on die other green line (not possible because of the bracket on the passenger side) 3° down?

Can’t be what I suggested then. Must be because it fits another car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
