So I bought a used HICAS rack off a guy from Zilvia. He seems like a standup guy and assured me it was indeed a HICAS rack, but when I checked the rack without tierods on it, it gives EXACTLY 3.1 turns lock to lock. FSM states non-HICAS racks give 3.1 turns LtoL, HICAS racks are 2.6 turns LtoL.
Does the installation of tie rods significantly change the lock to lock turns of a rack(hence the additional steering angle after installing a tie rod spacer)?
I'm really not sure what to do at this point, as I don't really want to pull my good/rebuilt non-HICAS rack off the car just to indeed find out it's the same as the one I've got.
So does anybody have a non-HICAS or HICAS rack off the car that could check the turns lock to lock? Unfortunately I don't have extra tie rods to toss on there and see if it changes the LtoL turns.
