Steering rack knock

Post by someguy » Thu Mar 04, 2010 12:32 pm

Hi guys.

My steering rack is starting to knock when going over bumps and driving under 30km/h

Does anyone know what the specific issue is and if it can be fixed without having to replace the whole rack.

Thanks

Hmm maybe.

The shaft connecting to the l/h tie rod end (not good with part names haha) was knocking a bit when I yanked it around so I ordered another one this arvo.

If that fails I might replace the uni joint but it seems to be pretty tight.
