dan9 0 Posted January 5, 2008 There is play in my steering rack, not in the track rod ends as you would expect, but in the joint between the track rod and the rack itself. Is this "knuckle" a replaceable part? Does it unscrew from the main rack? Perhaps someone who has stripped a steering rack can enlighten me! Alternatively, how much might it cost to buy a whole steering rack? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alternatively, how much might it cost to buy a whole steering rack? you can buy them, circa there 18 quid a side but you may need the special tool to remove them. it looks like a half moon with a piece of bar on a pivot. im sure your local, friendly garage may have one you can borrow for a drink. alternatively there are buying a new rack or a secondhand one but its more time consuming replacing the rack than the inner arms.
