Ke70 Steering rack swaps - Achieving more lock?

[Jacobxxx]

I literally run xt130 lca, cut and shut knuckle, standard everything else and I hit chassis rail.

The real question is, WHY do you need more lock?

[Delazy]

Pretty much the same in my ke70 also bloke...14x7 -/+0 and grabs rail...could get more but too much effort and no need

I've heard yarns of an aw11 rack being able to be modified to fit. Using a longer steering uni shaft from a supra or something. I can't confirm or deny this but as the others said. Jdi's, rack spacer and lcas n u should be pretty close to all ull need

AE86 rack has 1 more tooth. 130mm total travel vs 120 from memory.

Swapping racks is probably more effort than it's worth but that + machined rack ends and you'd be sweet. If you still want more, then get arms.

[Skylar]

That's an America thing. Most corollas whether sr-5 or gts got ps and manual racks are rare. Aw11 rack swap is to get rid of ps and get more lock except instead of us putting ps arms in on a manual rack car, they're putting manual rack into a ps car. As far as I know, aw11 rack and manual ae86 rack is same.

Ahhh righto yea that makes sense. Awesome

i run just t3 arms in the inner hole.

more than enough lock, and my wheels havn't fallen off yet.
t3 arms arn't all bad, theyre just shorter arms with standard ackerman or same as oem arms

[AJPS]

AW11 are the same racks im pretty sure

I wouldnt be running T3 stuff, just junk really not even made nicely. people choose the easy option of going JDI knuckles i highly recommend 'keto steering' knuckles out of NZ i run them on my car and the steering has never felt better. alot of lock running just a stock 70 rack no lock spacer zero signs of binding with steering rack mounts in the stock position.

How are JDI the easy option?
