Electric Steering replacing Jag Rack and Pinion
I am looking to replace the original jag rack and pinion with an electric enhanced unit. Can anyone offer or suggest a suitable replacement unit. I am extremely limited in space specially in the cabin and around the column bu the car has room around the rack assembly. I am happy to look at any options
Thanks |
I'm not aware of any replacement R&P units that incorporate electric assist. I do know of a couple of add-on systems that utilize the existing rack. They fit between the rack and the steering column and shafts and proved EPAS.

Another solution is an electric power steering pump with a hydraulic PS R&P. This video uses a Volvo PS pump: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Htrz_Wn4SZ8 This video also mentions Toyota MR2 end Mazda 3 electric PS pumps. Here's a write-up on installation of this in a Fox body Mustang: https://www.corral.net/threads/volvo...te-up.2499503/ Electric power steering will draw quite a bit of power, so make sure your alternator and electrical system are up to the task. |
