Which WRX rack fits L RX Turbo ?
Hi all , can someone tell me which Impreza WRX steering rack goes bolt in an L RX Turbo . I'm interested in less turns lock to lock and one of the early ones goes in I'm told .
I wouldn't be surprised if the L ones tie rods had to be transfered but that shouldn't be a biggie .
Cheers A .

The older gc8 racks will fit fine, you will need to run the l series tie rods on the impreza rack. You would be best finding a rack from a older ra sti as they have the least.

Just slightly off topic, but can you put an L series steering column in a MY?

Should be able to use any rack.
A good rack from a GX liberty could cost around $100. You can get the quick ratio STI ones too, people can charge up to around 500 for these. Depends on kms and what kindof person is selling it tho.
Careful though, if you put an EJ component in your L series it won't be an L series anymore. If you are a true purist you wouldn't even think of doing something so horrific![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Oh one thing, if you happen to get a "sporty" steering rack from a Legacy, the splined part that passes through the engine crossmember is quite abit bigger, you need to grind the hole out abit. Also you need to put +12V on the "sporty" solenoid otherwise the steering is fairly heavy, although Alex found it acceptable without the solenoid engaged on his.

I didn't know the lib/impreza racks are a direct drop in... interesting. And I would've thought that a rack with more turns would be better suited to offroad driving as it wouldn't be as difficult to turn or wouldn't throw the driver out the window when there's feedback from the steering... My thoughts anyway.
