question: change steering wheel height (rebuild)

Post by pihlen »

hi im swapping to racing seats and lowering the seating position quite a bit and then i also wanna lower the steering wheel position.

has anyone done this and can help me a bit how to do it? im assuming that the whole rack/pinion assembly is not just to rotate so maybe i need another steering column with a flex joint or so?

any thoughts? thanks!


Always thankful for y'alls knowledge and help! (So far I guess I´ll get more help then being able to help out my self..so far) :)

I believe it shouldn't be an issue to disassemble the steering column and refit with some spacer rings. Steering coupling should allow some tilting.
