[Shotimes] Power steering question Gen I or III

[Leigh Smith]

Thanks Paul;
Too bad they don't list the SHO rack.
Sounds like the regular Gen III VAPS is similar to the Gen II VAPS.
Any idea if a Gen III SHO rack would fit in a Gen II?

  The GEN 3 Helms is quite cryptic.  I did find this.

        Effort Required to Sustain Proper Input Shaft Rotation (Power Cylinder
Drained and Gear Removed from Vehicle)  1.37 Nm (12 Lb-In)


  And this

        Taurus, Sable with VAPS  2.27 kg (5.0 Lb)


  But these are both for SLOs.  Not the GEN 3 SHO rack.

  Ian and I are doing are debating some possible steering rack changes and
  options.
  Does anyone have a Helms for a Gen I or Gen III that could look up the
'Static
  Steering Turning Effort" specification for me?
  It is the back of section 11-00-33 (my book; Steering System Service), with
  the other spec tables.
  My Gen II book reads:
  5.0 lb effort with VAPS
  7.0 lb effort w/o VAPS
  TIA
