Steering Rack

It should be on the top from memory.

If your talking about the castle nut, +1

 

[DOUGMO]

vr4 and evo are opposite

nut goes on the bottom on evos

have a look through the hole in the knuckle from the top down it will have a slight taper(if you haven't tightened them in there already)

Nut goes on the bottom for Evo II/III yes, but on the top for Evo I and GSR.

Interesting. I haven't bought EVO specific tie rod ends.

Should I have?

 

[brisvr4]

Have to love Mitsubishi consistency!!

 

[DOUGMO]

i had non evo ones for a while mate before i got the jointed ones, should be fine
just check them against the old ones prior to fitting them

 

[milkandoj]

Sorry i was referring to my vr4 having the nut on top. I really should have checked the sub-forum

 

[Hypo]

Is there way to determine if hubs are EVO II/III and not EVO I. I imagine that I could look at the steering arm and look at the taper of the hole?

 

[DOUGMO]

yeah check the taper mate, and make sure its not all slogged out from being installed the wrong way up

Can you run an Evo 3 rack in an Evo 1?

 

[Gianni]

Similar question. Will Evo 3 rack attach to GSR hubs? I have a standard coupe rack with GSR rubs ATM. But have an Evo quick steer rack hanging around I might put on

 

[EVOCPE]

Yes the EVO3 rack will fit the EVO 1
and
Yes the EVO 3 rack will fit the GSR hubs

 

[Gianni]

Perfect. That's what I thought. But then I read above comments and was a little confused with people saying the racks mounted differently. Ha ha

 

[khubner1]

shold've read the whole thread whoops

 

[EVOCPE]

The steering rack tie rod ends mounts upwards on the EVO2/3, while EVO1/GSR mounts downwards

Due to the knucles being tappered differently

[sup]Thanks but does that mean that its the same rack? Or do you need to change something on the E3 rack to make it fit an E1?[/sup][/sup]

 

[Gianni]

The rack will bolt to the Kframe same as they all do. I think it means the hub attachment is slightly lower or higher on specific hubs so the arms on rack will be faced up or down to go through the hole.

How many turns lock to lock is the evo and how does this compare to the Gsr?

Hey, did you end up sorting out the knocking sound, I've got one also.
