variable power steering??

[MaNiac_VP]

the key to keeping it from frying is to make sure you keep the power steering fluid clean and flush it every other year as when it gets dirty, it overheats causing the soleniod to sieze in place from heat or from catching pieces of gaskets which makes the rack break up internally and then its all over.

ok back again, problem. the rack itself has variable ration writen on it (stamped) though i cannot see any solenoid or anythin like it on or around the rack????? help please!!!! i need to find out so i know which extractors i need

 

[STEALTHY™]

It is possible to run a variable steer rack without the variable steer working


I cant really answer the question, but i don't see why anyone would actually put that rack in their car if it shouldn't have it.

My variable racks just went on friday 290 for reco

The variable ratio on the VN just meant that it was different in the centre than the ends. 17.2:1 on centre to 11.8:1 on lock. Variable ratio on the Stato was a solenoid that controlled the fluid volume going through the rack. The faster you went the less volume and the heavier the steering was.

so wat you think?? do i need the calais/stato extractors or just the normal commodore one's

Just go the normal ones, as said above the VN never had the speed sensitive variable ratio.
