      Steering rack - advice please (subaru rack for muscle car?)

      Im converting my Australian Valiant Charger to rack and pinion, im also swapping the old 6cly for a 6.1 hemi and have wider front tyres - 245's

      Ive been looking at different options and ive found that the Subaru WRX is the perfect size to eliminate bump steer and its a quick ratio. Its also righthand drive (im in New Zealand) and they are fairly cheap compared to a flaming river RHD rack

      My only concern is would it be strong enough, the WRX is a 4cyl 4wd car, small but its built tough, i had a 2003 WRX STI SPec C which was 350hp and was well impressed with its handling.



      I cant seem to find any load or weight ratings for any power steering racks, so im assuming it should be ok, your thoughts????

      Thanks

      Lee

      Cool, my WRX STI was 3350, i expect my Charger to be around the same weight.
