200 Steering lock-to-lock (normal vs cup)

[TB Rich]

Does anyone know the lock-to-lock values between the racks?

My car is going in for a new steering rack under warranty tomorrow and although I have stressed it must be a cup rack and they said it will be as Renault will look up the VIN etc - I am incredibly anal about things and frankly don't entirely trust Renault to have the correct details on their system.

I was wondering if there is an easy way to test or visually check once installed? I know that the rack is only 7.5% quicker which will likely take 0.2ish off the value - so I doubt it'll be easy to check? Part numbers I would also assume are impossible to see once installed?

Cheers.

Does anyone know the part number for the Cup rack please? Might try and grab the paper work off them as proof for future sale to show it's been done.

Decided to test on the way the lock-to-lock, obviously very hard to be specific, but it seemed like 1 & 1/4 turns (just over really) from centre to stop, so the cup rack is about 2.5-2.6ish I would say.

Anyone with a non-cup fancy trying the same?

Cheers.
