Rack and pinion steering 84-85 FIAT 124 Spider

This rack-and-pinion steering system is suitable for the FIAT 124 Spider from the 1984 to 1985 model years and offers precise, direct steering characteristics – exactly what sporty drivers appreciate about the late Spider models.

The steering was manufactured according to the original specifications and impresses with its precise response, high durability and perfect fit. It is the ideal choice for a faithful restoration or conversion to modern rack-and-pinion steering.

Technical notes and conversion information:

Conversion of earlier FIAT 124 Spider models (built 1966-1984), which are still equipped with a steering gear and recirculating ball steering, is possible in principle, but requires considerable technical effort:

• The axle beam must be replaced.

• The drive shaft to the steering column must also be replaced or individually adjusted.

• Further adjustment work on the attachment may be necessary.

Such a conversion is worthwhile, as the rack-and-pinion steering provides a noticeably more direct and sportier steering feel, but requires specialist knowledge, craftsmanship and time
