How do you tell the difference between the steering racks without the car or vin#? I am trying to get one and the seller is unsure about what racks he has, he just has the racks. Looking for physical differences or possible part numbers or casting numbers. Thanks!
WS6 has nothing w/ the rack. WS6 is mostly BS marketing w/ maybe minor changes to whatever car suspension.
GT and Some other Fiero have 3:1 rack most are 3.5:1 rack

What year? The consensus on the forums seems to be that all 88s had the same rack. I just grabbed a spare 88 rack out of a coupe and I believe I can use that in my GTs if I ever need it.
I do not know the years but I don’t think any of the racks are from 88s. I’m just gonna spin the input shafts with vice grips and see how many turns it takes lock to lock.
Wow thanks Mark, I guess I just always assumed my 85 base model came with the slower 3.5:1 ratio rack, but I just went and checked and it is indeed the faster 3:1 ratio rack. Looks like I don’t need a new rack after all.
