l-series ps rack re-con

obviously different racks need different mods. Mine was a pretty strait forward swap for n/a ej22 ps rack.

I am surprised on the rebuild cost. I am looking at options for the RX and attempting to avoid the Lib thing atm. I was told about $330 + shipping total for a rebuilt rack. Oh well at least you sound please with the outcomes though and that's what counts (saving a few more coins is just an added bonus).

Hmmm... I've got an impreza PS rack (I think that's what it is - came with an EJ20), might give that a go at putting it in with the EJ.

Cheers

This is a good idea as I don't think it's possible without a lift kit. People should note that the angle of the input shaft of the Liberty rack is *slightly* different to the L series rack. With an extended steering linkage like you get with a lift kit the uni joints can soak up the extra angle but I believe it's a bit much with just standard length one. You'd really have to go the next step and fit the matching Liberty steering column.

I haven't actually tried fitting one to an unlifted car but I've heard this from somebody else. I could see the slight difference in angle holding the two different racks against each other not long ago.

Also...$330 + shipping sounds like a good price. I remember getting similar prices a while back when ringing around but it took a while, lots of places were alot more expensive. Might be an idea to just get it locally though, then you avoid the shipping costs.

Does anyone have a full list of the stock standard 'LOCK to LOCK' steering info on Subes, from post 85 L's, including Libs, Forry's etc....???
