Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I use custom uprights and the steering arms on them are very short meaning I have less than 2 turns lock to lock.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, does anyone have a spare 996 steering rack laying around? I need to know how much the rack moves per every full turn on the input axle from the steering wheel. A 997 rack moves 57 mm per revolution, I have a feeling the 996 rack is slower. I use a 997 rack in my race car and need a rack that is a bit slower. I use custom uprights and the steering arms on them are very short meaning I have less than 2 turns lock to lock. Thanks!

POST 2Original post

The ratio on a 996 is 16.9 to 1 if that helps ya.. you can find the ratio for 997 in the shop manual ( I don't have one at the moment) Or go online to the Porsche Piwis TSI and download the documents.

POST 3Original post

A quick google seems to indicate that both the 996 and 997 are 16.9:1 ratio racks so there would be no improvement going to the 996 rack. If they have the same ratio, they should move the same amount assuming they are the same size to start with. -Mark
