So my mechanic told me today that my power steering rack was leaking internally and will need to be replaced soon. Now I was thinking about swapping in a dc2r rack when I do my motor swap but I was wondering are there other aftermarket options?

Cheers,

Vik.

assyming ur getting a whole half cut? to do conversion?
if so then make sure u get steering shaft and steering joint. i havent changed mine over yet but i think you might need the steering joint.
or i thinks its direct bolt on.
or if u want can check the teeth both racks.
good luck man.

why do you need the subframe too?
doesnt have to be itr u-joint, can use any dc2 u-joint.
steering rack bolts on to eg subframe. only need steering rack + u-joint.
eg u-joint is too small for itr rack.

I don't need the cross member too, but I'm getting it at a very good price so I figured why not. Ill have to get my hands on a u joint then thanks guys!
