Manual steering conversion for 964 C2

Recommended Posts

I recently purchased a 964 with a leaky power steering system. I like the idea of converting it to manual steering due to the simplicity and reduced weight.

I've gotten some input on rebuilding the stock rack or replacing it with the 993 rack. I may end up going down one of these paths, but something still intrigues me about switching over to a manual steering setup.

I've heard of guys doing it. Can anyone shed more light on how it is done or what is needed? Is there a block off/bypass available or would I need to install a new rack? Any links to tutorials, other forum posts, or the parts needed would be most helpful.

Thanks!

Kyle

weren't some of the RS or cup cars have manual steering?

you might look at a parts catalog.

manual steering racks usually have different gearing because of no power assist. turn off your engine and see how hard it is to turn the steering wheel.
