Little update… what a great design this Rear Steering Rack is!
Almost got the Subframe low enough to remove the Rack but left it for now before I lost my patience! Now thinking, if the Second Hand Rack has been in the Boot for 6 years then surely the Seals will have dried and gone brittle = leaks!
It’s such a pain of a job I don’t want to do it twice so…anyone know of a

  1. Rack rebuilder,
  2. anyone rebuilt their own one,
  3. anyone got a GOOD Rack formSale

Martin,
I’m certain I have seen a company on this site which specialises in steering rack overhaul. Yes, the front rack, but I guess they’d be quite capable of refurbing a rear rack, likely on an exchange basis of course. Might even be a simpler job for them.
I’ll have a search around.

Hi Martyn

Go to Western Power Steering and ask to speak to Gary tell him Rob from the evil empire sent you and he will collect refurbish it correctly and send it back to you for around £250

Hi All,

I think this thread has completed the role of the newbie section @marlowboy I would recommend starting a technical/ build thread showing the work your doing on your new motor - look forward to seeing it when done mate :+1:

Will now close this thread - cheers,

James
