Title: Steering rack on the way? (Video)
Post by: Jimmm on June 05, 2015, 10:14:06 pm

If I rock the steering side to side, it knocks. I have just replaced the inner tie rods as they had quite a lot of play in them and it has improved drastically however the knock pops up every so often when going along unlike before. Anyone had to replace the bushes for this or is it just a rack on the way?

Found a video which is very similar to the noise mine is making

Hi Jim - Replied to your PM - Rack replaced was fine after.
It might have been something else a part of the rack, but when I googled the price of the rack, i was prepared to mess about so just got a whole unit.

Mines doing the same thing! How much was the rack?
