Anyone know the difference of a 96 Cobra rack and the SN95 rack? I'm going to run a SN95 K member on my 93 notch and can get a 96 Cobra rack for dirt cheap.
Thanks.

All 94-04 racks are interchangable.

I just put a 03 Cobra rack on my 95 and it bolted up with no modifications.

Cool, thanks. I have no idea if the 96 Cobra rack is any different than the 96 GT but its cheap so I'll go pick it up.

Cardone is great re-manufacturer, I have 03-04 steering rack in my 95 and i feel NO DIFFERENCE. sorry. Unless you push the limit of your car may be...but i don't

When i got this i returned my GT rack as a core. they didn't ask no questions.

If you want the "Tight" feel of your steering wheel. You can pour LUCAS steering wheel fluid in your pump and it will get stiffer. lol.

The OE Ford 03-04 Cobra racks are a quicker ratio rack. Meaning the wheel takes less turns from wheel lock to wheel lock. I put one in my 1995 Cobra 3 years ago and it has help tremendously with my road course driving. If you don't feel a qiucker steer than you don't have a 03/04 Cobra steering rack(my opinion).

By the was I got mine off of ebay 3 and 1/2 years ago, it was a oem take off from a racing shop somewhere. I got it for 125.00 plus a delivery charge. It had less than 100 miles on it. I guess, I got it at the right time, or maybe, I got it before everyone knew about the advantage of these racks. It to me feels a lot sportier to drive. I would try and find an OE...again my opinion.

OK here you go....who's going to get it first....I would snag it but I don't need it.

That one is 95 not 03-04. Where do you run a road course at? i am just curious. Do you have 95 R or 03-04 rack?

I have a rack out of a 2003 Cobra.
I compete at Mid America Motorplex in Glenwood, Iowa
http://www.midamericamotorplex.com/2006/rc_default.asp

That rack out of a 95 Cobra R is race inspired, race ready and a quick ratio unit.
I would bet that thing 3 to 5 bills to buy from Ford.
