Power steering from forester to ea82

Featured Replies

My power steering rack went on my 88gl and I have a parts forester in the driveway that I'm going to be doing a 2.5 swap with into the gl. I'm wondering if the rack will work. Also will I loose any turning radius? I know the gl's seem to have a smaller turning radius.

 

Thanks!

For future reference after taking some measurements and looking at how things are routed the answer is no. 

If you cut a hole in the crossmember it can be bolted in and works.......but it's too wide.  Set the alignment with the wheels straight but then when you turn the wheels toe out from eachother at lock.

 

Steering rack end to end needs to be the same distance as between A-arm pivots (+ horizontal distance from balljoint to tierod) to keep everything making paralellograms
