andyl,

I'd research those quickeners thoroughly. If it introduced any slop at all into the steering, I'd run away.

My steering had 3 u-joints originally. When I was able to reduce to two, I had a whole new car!

A quicker rack (which is what I have and really, really like) is a much better solution if it is practical and economic. The change from a 1993 Mustang 18:1 to a 15:1 was just what the doctor ordered. I agree with the other poster that a 2:1 up-ratio might bring the opposite problem.

Dunno what rack you now have, and whether there's one you could substitute for 20% or so quicker. Not familiar with the available parts over there, sorry.

My two cents,

Tom
