Does anyone know of an aftermarket steering rack with a higher ratio that would enhance autocross performance?

SignUp Now!Steering angle sensor is in the column steering ratio change will not effect it. If you lowered your X a bump steer correction would help.FJ cruiser or 4 Runner rack? I am trying to figure out if anyone has done this, whether it would fit, and how much it would mess with stability control because the steering angle sensor would be wrong. Anyways, the FJ/4 runner rack is 2.7 turns lock to lock instead of 3.43/3.64 for 4x2/4x4.
Exactly. The steering angle sensor a smaller degree than the wheels are actually turned as the ratio is different. I was trying to read about this on cars where quick racks are more common practice but didn't find much really.Steering angle sensor is in the column steering ratio change will not effect it.
cheapest way is a smaller streering wheelDoes anyone know of an aftermarket steering rack with a higher ratio that would enhance autocross performance?
That's really not going to change how many turns to full lock though and it's really not that cheap to do a steering wheel conversion. Plus you loose your cruise control and stereo controls as wellcheapest way is a smaller streering wheel

I know exactly what it's like but in the money you'll spend getting a smaller wheel you could fab up a steering quickener and be done.yes that is right but moving smaller wheel is faster and this makes the distance of the movement of you hand less think of it as a short shifter like a cut down stock sifter lever
I have dealt with them for the size of them aka fitting them in is no easy task be easier to find a rack to swap in or mod the stock raclI know exactly what it's like but in the money you'll spend getting a smaller wheel you could fab up a steering quickener and be done.
Where they mount wouldn't interfere with anything though. Would be able to mount it right on the frame rail inline. Would have to look closer at it but it's doable for sure.what I ment from fitting them in is making them work with the stock xr since it's a collapsible steering column and ya have exhaust to worrie about
One issue alot of people forget is you can on move double u joints so much tell they bind upWhere they mount wouldn't interfere with anything though. Would be able to mount it right on the frame rail inline. Would have to look closer at it but it's doable for sure.
This is very true. It would probably need a small spacer off the frame to mount on in order to keep the shaft straight.One issue alot of people forget is you can on move double u joints so much tell they bind up

Not here for me. I don't have vehicle inspections and autoX doesn't have a very lengthy inspection eitherall in all it would be a pain then making it full legal
