Re: Which rack for drag pack Challenger
Eric, that is basically what they are. The early numbers in 09 were shipped with fluid racks, and Mopar sent you a non fluid one. Hard to steer. They are still hard to steer. There is a Z-shaped thing under the dash in the steering and that is why they wobble so much. That thing is the collapsible part of the steering. It weighs 22 lbs or so. The fix is to take that thing out, and make a shaft that goes thru the firewall and ties into the rack. I think it takes a u-joint to get there. We had some made this off season and seems easier, but we haven't drove to the starting line yet. Inside the car must remain unmolested.
We had our chassis guy change this on 2 cars, and make us some we can change with the motor out of the car. I might can get some more made if you are interested. Maybe we could get two shafts like a bulldozer has and use that as steering.
