power steering rack

[RIVIERAM002]

Long Shot but anybody know a company that may do a service exchange LHD power steering rack for 993 rs ? it will save time in sending mine away to reconditioned / re-sealed, it's leaking fluid and requires a refurb.

Steve,

It's not that specialist, you should be able to go to a reputable local steering rack refurbisher to get it overhauled.

This example is not local to you, but 2 year guarantee seems useful!

Seems cheap?

I thought replacement racks were nearer £500+...... more from Porsche, no doubt..

And Type 911 refurb for £320 here.

I'm pretty sure I have heard of owners getting racks reconditioned by this company http://www.westernpowersteering.co.uk/

Jonny or Dan at Unit Eleven will more than likely be able to confirm.

It just shows how good the steering is, you have driven a few 993RS and never noticed!

Sent to a specialist, should be done now, needs collecting and fitting back to the RS this week sometime.

Surely any 993 power steering rack etc is the same for The RS .... or is it different .... yes I have driven a 993 Cup did that have power steering ....[&o]

The RS uses a 964 rack - the gearing is slower than the standard 993 rack.

Not kidding now......................... proper 993 Cup NO power steering Shag
