Dr30 Steering Arrangement

[andylaurel]

Hi guys

Just bought a dr30

this one

The steering is dangerously vague which i attribute to the fact that it is a steering box car.

Question: Are steering boxes all this sloppy or is something worn in the mechanism?

Question: Has anyone converted their DR30 to rack and pinion with say... an s13 rack?

well R30's and R31's front ends are similar. i have put a R32 steering rack in my R31 and it was a direct bolt in, the only thing that needed modification was the lines that enter the steering rack, R31 has screw in connections and R32 has banjo bolts. so that is an option. S13 steering rack won't be a drop in replacement like the R32 steering rack.

Yes it will probably be worn out and a little loose. Tightening the adjustmant screw on the box itself will help... Not too hard though as it will cause it to wear out quicker.
