Hello,

I have a PS13 Silvia and I understand the power steering rack is the same as a UK RS13 200SX.
But could someone please confirm if the power steering rack boots/gators are the same on the S13 and S14?
I see Camskill sell the S14 ones and on Ebay someone is selling some that he states fits S13, S14 and S15.

Also while I'm down there should I upgrade anything else apart from the rack bushes?

Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Gary

about 95% positive the S13 and S14 ones are identical (as are the R32 ones) so you shouldn't have an issue.

Also buy one of these

95% is more certain than I've ever been about anything so sounds good to me, thanks very much arry.:thumbs:
I don't suppose I could also trouble you for an opinion on the benefits/drawbacks of solid metal steering rack bushes as opposed to just poly?

Thanks again,
Gary

poly's have a little more "give" to them so you don't get so much road feedback through the wheel. TBH unless you're a bit hardcore, I'd do the polys instead.
