Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / November 2005Early mustang rack and pinion upgrade question
Some people have used a taurus rack for a swap. Has anyone ever considered using a rack out of a 93 to 96 probe? It's also a rear steer car and maybe it'll provide a better turning radius than the taurus rack.  SignatureMark -- "I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates who once said, "I drank what?".

And to answer... you have to also consider distance of spindle pivot- center to knuckle. Yes, a front steer car would have the rack in the front. a rear steer car, like the mustang has the steering gear in back of the front suspension.
