Query about power steering rack, 8v/16v

[Ant]

Is there any difference between the power steering rack from an 8v or 16v?

I'm sure I read somewhere that there was, but can't find the text now.

Thanks in advance.

yes they are different. 16v rack is better.

yes they are different. 16v rack is better.

is it quicker or something? or you just fuelling the 8v/16v wardebate?

[Gambit]

no its defo different. not sure on lock to lock but it definitly heavier (and i dont mean weight )

[Veedubgt18v]

yeah i had noticed that mine and marks feel differant, maybe the 8v substantial torque turns the pump easier than the 16v? 

[Gambit]

nah its lighter cause 8v's are for girls

or for young people who cannot afford the insurance on a 16v
