I have a bad leak so I figured I'd start looking for another used rack to replace mine. would the 03 cobra rack work? doesnt it have a different steering ratio than my stock 96 GT rack? thanks

Yes it would work. No, it doesn't have a different ratio. It has a heavier feel.

I found on some web page that they replaced the steering ratio on the 99+ SVT cobras. I personally bought a 99 cobra one off ebay for like, $150.00.....

I found other sites that also said that the cobras had the same ratio (14.7) so..... i PERSONALLY changed to a cobra one, because thats just the way I am... Do i honestly think the SVTs came with a different ratio? yes, will the .3 change from 14.7 to 15.0 make a world of difference? no... i just changed because I want my car to be as amazing as possible, and I was doing some junk on the front suspension anyways... :)

If yours is leaking, i would look for a cobra 1 on ebay...

if you dont find 1, look for a cobra 1 on craigeslist...

if you dont find 1, forget it... the change wont be drastic enough to spend the $$ on a brand new one...

also, i believe an 03/04 should fit fine, my 99 looks to be a bolt in :) just started on the project (steering rack part of it anyways) tonight... ill let you know how it goes :)
