Can someone let me know where I can get parts and a rebuild kit for a non pas steering rack. It's for a 205 XS F reg I'm doing up. Thanks

You can buy a complete reconditioned manual rack for about £40. Is it worth doing it yourself for that cost?

Thanks for the reply. Do you have a link for this?

I'm not sure how to identify whether I have a squared or splined type steering rack on my 205. Is it the connection type? Photo attached is what I have. Can anyone help identify?

That looks like the earlier splined rack to me.

Sounds about right.  I can't remember exactly when the change from spline to square drive happened now, but I think it was mid-late 1990 sort of time along with the other Phase 2 changes.  As with anything else on cars this old though, it's always worth checking as who knows what's been swapped prior to your ownership.

As Anthony says, that is the spline type none PAS in your pic
