Power Steering Rack 97gst vs 97gsx

[mattasi]

If I rebuild the steering rack out of my 97 GST parts car, can I use it in my 97 GSX? Im trying to find a for sure answer.

 

[99gst_racer]

Yes. All GST and GSX power steering racks are the same for all 2Gs.

I'm 99% sure the n/t racks are the same too, but don't hold me to my n/t facts.

Ok because on JNZ tuning they list a steering rack for the AWD as $807.26 and the steering rack for 2WD at $942.77
So are you sure you are correct? Sorry I just want to make sure someone has done this before.

I have one of each in my garage, and I've had both of them on my 2G at some point. I didn't see any differences between the two. They were litterally identical in appearance, install, and function.

Does JNZ list part numbers for each? I'd check CAPS to verify, but I can't get it to install on my new work PC for some reason.

 

[mattasi]

No part number from JNZ, it is in their OEM catalog. They don't give me part numbers just descriptions.

Hopefully someone with CAPS can check for me.

 

[mattasi]

Can someone check this out in the CAPS program for me? I would appricate it.

I think, The power steering Rack, is the same thing as the Struts.

2g Struts are all the same, They all bolt on the same, But the AWD are more stiff, Because of the extra weight of the Transmission and T-Case.

So,

The Rack are all the same as well, like (99gst_racer) state it before, I would say,,,,...... The difference are Internal,,,,, ((( IF, there is a difference ).

They all bolt on, they are Identical Appearance, But they are different on Strength, I would say.

In the Manual, It doesn't say anything about differences, It only shows Turbo and Non Turbo Rack.

But It shows Two Racks (Turbo and Non Turbo), Not because they are different, but because of the fact That, ,,,, Turbo and Non turbo are different on how to Install them (hooked up different),

Non turbo lines goes on the passenger side, which Turbo goes on the Driver side.
