Title: Couple of questions... Steering & Suspension
Post by: Gtiscotty on 28 December 2012, 22:00

Hi

So I now have a 20v agu engine to put in my car... I also have G60 hubs and calipers with bigger discs.
I plan to convert it to power steering and was wondering if I could still use mk2/mk3 power steering rack and ancillaries with the power steering pump from the mk4 donor car or will I need a different rack or pump?

Also with the G60 hubs can I still use shocks and springs from a mk2 or should I get G60 ones?

Any help would be great!

mk4 pump mk2/3 rack works

use the fluid for the rack.  so if a rack desinged for red fluid (  mineral ) atf   use that else the seals will die,  if rack for green fluid use that,  the pump dosen't care what it pumping as long as it has something to pump

mk2, g60 mk3 shocks  all bolt up the same use whitchever struts you want,  worth fitting mk3 top mounts and really you want uprated struts  with a 20vt under the bonnet
