Dreaded steering rack.....

[Jason240z]

 

this is what I spotted....

 

 

 

Which is this

 

 

 

Looks like the bronze bearing had moved

 

Which would have been caused by this hairline crack

I cut the end off to press the bearing out once the crack was found.

Well that's not good.

Do you have another rack you're going to put in, or are you thinking you'll weld that crack up and reuse that rack?

I could do, Although I think i'll source another rack.

@Patcon Thanks for the thread link, great thread.

Thanks. It's about time to post an update as it is slowly moving again.
