Jimjific 23 Report post Posted February 22, 2012 Hello All, Does anyone know what the difference or what cars these two styles of "J" type rack and pinions go too? I circled the area of difference. One has it's hookup ports at an angle and the other is more straight. I just got a second hand Randalls Rack that has the style I called Straight and It needs new fluid lines. I could make my own but I figured if I could find a set somewhere I could save some effort but I need to know what to ask for. Thanks, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danno 128 Report post Posted February 22, 2012 I thought Randall's racks were from about a 94 Chevy Cavaliar. I did not know there was a difference in what Randalls supplied. I will double check, but that is what I recall. The rack was used on a lot of GM cars from that era other than Cavaliar, so your rack could be from one of the similar models. You might go to a parts store and see what the Cavaliar hoses are like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimjific 23 Report post Posted February 22, 2012 That's what I did and how I started noticing that there was a difference. The attached picture is for a 94 Cavalier from Car Steering Wholesale and it is has angled hookups. It is a subtle difference, but the lines for the two would be different. I'm probably going to have to fab my own since I don't think auto places store just the lines. Thanks, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
