Rack and Pinion

**Chad97z** · 12-25-2006, 05:58 PM

Does anyone know the major differences between the FE2 and the F41 on the 1997 camaro? I know the FE2 is #244 and 2.5 turns lock to lock and the F41 (244HD) is 2.25 turns lock to lock, but is there any other differences? My car came with the FE2. Can I put on the F41 (244HD) on my car? Any ill effects? Anyone ever done this?

Thanks,
Chad

Don't think you notice a difference, not worth the trouble, unless your current rack and pinion is going out.

Just go to a junk yard and yank on off another f-body.

I think a junk yard will ask almost as much as this one.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RACK-...spagenameZWD1V

And I'd hate to install a used one that had issues or wore out soon. Might as well go for rebuilt. BUt I hate to do a lot more work on this car.. I'm starting to get an itch for a used vette. This one is only a few hours away. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...l=&cardist=187

Both aren't bad deals. But the mileage for the vette isn't listed.

**Chad97z** · 12-26-2006, 05:24 PM

**BlackLT1Z28** · 12-26-2006, 05:44 PM

The Vette is sold today (one day after posted)!

Did you buy it Chad?

**Chad97z** · 12-27-2006, 07:09 AM

no I didn't get it. I am just sort of moving that direction. Its going to take awhile I guess. My camaro really runs pretty good. But I would trade if I found the right vette at the right price like in about 4 months. I need to pay off a few things, as I just became employed again. Telecom is still merging and having issues left over from 2001, so I'm not at the level I once was at. But things are better.
