The AE82 Corolla gets a steering upgrade that transforms the handling of the car. The new steering rack was fully rebuilt with a new steering pinion to quicken up the steering ratio. The new rack is about 2.5 turns lock to lock while the old rack was about 3.5 turns lock to lock. New AE86 inner tie-rods and custom Techno Toy Tuning tie-rod ends were used to give a tight steering feel that is also strong. The result was amazing! Watch as I progress on my journey of making the Corolla FX16 a Touge Monster!
A big thank you to Colin for the information on the steering upgrade: @colin.pan
Thank you to Techno Toy Tuning for making me the custom outer tie-rods!
This upgrade should apply to AE92, AE101 and AE111 Corollas. By quickening the steering ratio you will increase the steering response and control through the corners. I was plagued with tie-rod ends that would get sloppy and give a vague steering feel. Now my Corolla can handle the power, braking and steering without being sloppy. This was one of the best upgrades that I have done for the Corolla. It's hard to find someone to repair these old steering racks but doing it yourself is a viable option.
Let me know what's the next thing that I should work on to make the Corolla even better.
