steering rack

#1 Post by foxface »

Hi all, my steering rack is faulty and I have removed it from the car to buy one from the club, only they dont have any at the moment, any recomendations where to buy one or get this one refurbished. I am also after steering rack clamps and nuts to fit.
Regards Terry.

I like your wrapping technique, I'm going to copy that!

I'll get it assessed for you as soon as I can, but I generally call in to them when passing rather than making a special trip...

I took it in today; they'll let me know if it is viable over the next day or so and if it is have suggested a turnaround by 24 June. I took in another member's rack and further core rack too, so hopefully at least two of the three will be useable if not all...

Hi, I have been refitting a steering rack but the lower steering knuckle is to close to the chassis and jams up, how is this avoided. Regards Terry.
