No improved rack ratio either.
One of the advantages of going to power steering is usually the quicker rack ratio. That was the main reason for me switching to power steer.
For example the VL Commodore manual rack that I had was 4.48 turns lock to lock. The manual rack has a ratio of 23.3 to 1 at the ends of the rack, and a ratio of 19.7 to 1 at the center of the rack.
The power steering rack has 2.68 turns lock to lock and ratio of 11.8 to 1 at the ends of the rack, and a ratio of 17.2 to 1 at the center of the rack.
This all adds up to much quicker steering and not needing to shuffle the wheel back and forth when on the track.
