Choosing a Steering Rack for a Custom Sportscar | Project 171

Designing a custom sportscar means making deliberate choices—especially when it comes to steering. The rack must fit the chassis, suit the suspension, and deliver the right feedback. In this video, we examine the steering rack selected for Project 171. We’ll cover its physical characteristics, CAD integration, and how it aligns with the car’s performance goals. We’ll also discuss how the seller almost wouldn’t let us buy the steering rack we had chosen. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more!
