August 27, 201411 yr Anyone know if I can use a steering rack from a Legacy Outback (96) in a Legacy (97). I have no idea if there is a difference, I just replaced the rack with a second hand one, which is now leaking. They Legacy OB is the only rack in this area. Thanks!
August 27, 201411 yr My parts catalog shows them as different. I think it's only a gear ratio change.
August 27, 201411 yr Author The Scrap yard told me they were different; from memory I thought they were both 3.2 lock to lock wasn't too sure about the Wheel base but know that the width is identical?
August 27, 201411 yr Timely that you made this post. I just started shopping yard on car-parts.com for a steering rack for my 98 OBW. All the yards just post "Legacy" racks for sale, with no mention of any difference between Outback and non-Outbacks. I will watch with interest what others have to say, to see if they are inter-changeable.
August 27, 201411 yr The racks will physically interchange, the difference is strictly the ratio. Outback being slower than regular legacy, if memory serves the ratio is 19:1 on outback and 16:1 for legacy.
