The 944's came with manual steering one year only, 1983. The original (35 years old = worn out!) racks are hard to find. Here is an all new manual rack, rod ends, tie rods, boots, sector shaft, and rack rubbers. NO clamps are supplied as in the photo, use your own. It is imperative for me to know if your car is 1986 or earlier, or 1987 and later to the 968. There is a 3" difference in the end to end length on the racks, 51 1/2" vs 54 1/2".
This will be the last rack you install in your 944-951-968. No more leaks! It is greased for life. Plus you get rid of a huge amount on parasitic junk. I used to scrape off the power steering pump loading on the trailer at race days. Who needs that sh!t.
This kit is suited for street use but can be utilized for track use as well.. Disabling a power rack is not safe and causes vagueness in the steering, let alone Charles Atlas arms to steer at low speeds. If you need a race only set up, contact me as I can do that too.
This kit has a "ratio" of 3 1/2 turns = 131mm
Your power rack is 141mm/3 1/2 turns
Price is $850 including shipping to the contiguous US.

It's hard to find, a good used, or new old stock, or worse still a badly re-manufactured steering shaft. After 30 years your intermediate shaft (sector) is corroded, notchy, worn and apart from poor steering input, probably downright dangerous.
