Hi all,
Does anyone out there have any experience of rebuilding steering
racks? I have a problem with mine in that there is play in the
passenger side wheel, caused by play somewhere in the steering rack.
It feels just as if the inner ball joint is loose but when you
slide back the rubber boot, you can see that it's fine and the
movement is actually occuring between the inner part of the rack and
the outer (fixed) housing. The outer ball joints are all fine, the
rubber rack mounting bushes are new and there is no other play in the
system. Is't just the passenger side and its sufficiently bad to
cause a bit of wheel wobble at certain speeds, and to make accurate
wheel alignment impossible. Has anyone else come across this
phenomenon?
