Track control arms

The steering shaft on the Capri rack is at the rear but on the Corsa one it's at the front

 

looks the same basic layout on both racks to me as, usual I don't understand

The capri rack operates to the 'front' of the hub centre line. For instance, when turning right, the left hand side of the rack effectivey gets shorter and pulls the wheel to point right.

 

The corsa rack operates tor the 'rear' of the hub centre line. So in the example of turning right again, the left hand side of the rack, becomes longer and pushes the wheel to point right.

 

Chuck the corsa rack back on fleabay and fit a manual capri rack. It is already designed to work with the suspension geometry you have in the location you have. Your making a shitload of unnecessary aggro for yourself by insisting on trying to make a corsa rack fit.

 

The corsa rack isnt even going to be that much, if any, of a weight saving over a manual capri rack either.

I see ah well, it was brand new so might try for a refund first. it was only 49 quid. How much is a quick rack anyway? Ive seen kits to convert escort racks but not capri And any man capri rack will work o.k?

saves by all that other stuff too - thanks lads

 

edit - ive edited the name
