Rack and pinion steering in a W123? - fha772 - 05-26-2011
Hi all,
I just have a few questions, about my W123 280E trackcar project.
My questions are:
Has anyone fitted rack and pinion steering to their W123?
If so, what steering rack have you used? and, how did you do it?
OR, Has anyone fitted a higher ratio steering box?
If so, what was it off?
I want to quicken the steering. and make it more responsive.
I don't want to fit a steering quickening box, because I won't be able to have the car road-legal with 1 fitted.
That's all for now, many thanks Frank.
PS, what ever car you suggest, must have been available in RHD

Has anyone fitted a steering box from a later Mercedes? (such as a SLK, CLK, etc...)
