s13 rack question with pictures

[puerkone]

Ok what is the difference between these three? By looking at the pictures there is really not a difference.







which one is the best to get since i need to replace my steering rack

You need to get the one for your specific year model.

i cant remember if the 89 came super hicas but if you can get your hands on a hicas rack i would get that one. iirc the hicas rack has a 2.6 turn to full lock and the regular ones have a 3.2 so its less turning you have to do.

All three are different just barely. Like you highlighted alot of parts are the same only a few different

1. 89-90 SOHC , 91-94 DOHC 2 WS (Wheel Steer) 1 uses plater Shield
2. 89-84 DOHC 4 WS (Wheel Steer) - 1 and 2 use different clamp boots - 2 uses PLATE-LOCK
3. S14 95-98
