Title: power steering rack
Post by: jgb888 on July 25, 2010, 08:02:46 PM
hi all,

just wondering if the gt's or g40's have a power steering rack as i've got a little genesis and after changing the wheels the steering has got heavier just wondered if i could get a simple bolt on kit??

cheers for any advice

the easiest thing to do would be to put a bigger steering wheel on.  If you are serious about wanting to fit power steering then it's going to be a lot of work, probably want to start looking at electric power steering systems from corsas and stuff like that.
