I have been knocked back on rego because of worn rack ends in the steering rack. Can anyone recommend a good place for used ones, or even new ones. I would consider a reco steering rack for the right price.
Cheers,
Paul
You don't say what car, or where you are, but you are probably talking about worn track rod inner ball joints (you may call them tie rods). It is a fairly simple job to replace the rods.
Don't use secondhand ones - they are not expensive new, and it also makes sense to replace the track (tie) rod outer ends and rubber boots at the same time.
If you measure the length of the old rod/end assembly carefully and adjust the new assembly to the same length, then you will not need to have the tracking reset - but you need to be exact on this.
Hi Stewart,
Sorry, brain not working. It is a 79 245 with about 400K on it. Prices are not too cheap in Oz so I am looking OS as well.
