Hi guys. It looks like the UJ has gone on my 1989 205 GTI-6 so I'm looking for a replacement (quicker rack if possible). It looks like the Xsara unit has problems fitting so what is the next best option and has anyone got one for sale?Cheers, George |

I fitted a Xsara P1 rack to my '6 P1 and there were absolutely no problems at all, what problems have you heard of?________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

I'm not sure whether the Xsara rack is more compatible with a 6 rather than a 205 mate but I read somewhere on the 205 forum that there is a different style of UJ (square?) which requires some modification  |

Now then george, What rack has it got at the minute? A 205 pas rack(3.2 turns)is a good upgrade if yours has a non pas one(3.8).The uj is replaceable mind so that may be easier. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

Cheers Allan. It has the 3.2 PAS rack but I find it quite heavy, almost as though there's no power steering. |

I have the Xsara rack fitted, it's an easy job if you can find the correct UJ, however, they are meant to be difficult to find. |

Took the 205 to a sprint at Ingliston yesterday and it ran great and now I've driven it in anger, I'm quite happy with the 3.2 rack. All I need to know now is the best place to get the replacement UJ assembly. Any ideas guys? |
