AE71 - I have a knock in my steering rack.

inner and outer tie-rod ends have been replaced, as well as rack ends.

Does anyone know whether the steering rack has internal bushes or not? I can't seem to get a straight answer via my (usually successful) searches.

 

cheers,

Slapper

yes they have a bush on the long end.

a spring loaded yoke that pushes the rack in mesh with the pinion on the input end,

the spring may be broken or sagged that usually causes noises

thanks ... now I'll make sure I get a replacement bush on hand before I pull the rack out.

I like to get these things done in one day, so I have no excuse not to drive to work on Monday ;)

 

cheers,

Slapper
