[TR] TR4A steering rack

[Cliff Hansen]

I have a new steering rack (original is judged not rebuildable due to wear on the rack gear teeth). On the passenger side, on top of the tube, there is the hole shown in the attached photo.

Should there should be a plug of some sort? In the original that hole is filled by a rubber button from the inside, perhaps as part of a bushing of some sort. The hole will be under the mount, I intend to use a solid rack mount so I can’t rely on the mount bushing to seal against water.

I will call the vendor tomorrow, I thought I’d ask this group also. I’d install it today if I had confidence that all is as it should be.

Thanks

Cliff
