Has anyone done a rebuild of the steering rack and pinion on the early
TR4 unit.
My inner and outer tie-rods are fine. The passenger side bush for the
rack needs replacing, as do both upper and lower for the pinion. I
don't find the rack and pinion unit for my car available new
(CT16063L). Therefore, my winter task is to rebuild what I have. I'm
not sure that the TRF's rebuilt units would be worth the price.
I figure the pinion will show a small amount of wear on it diameter,
making it necessary to remove a few thousandths off of the diameter.
That in-turn will mean "custom" bushings must be made, most likely upper
and lower. Comments?
Anyone with experience doing this rebuild can jump in anytime :)
Thanks in Advance for any help.
