Steering rack
I've got a slight weep from somewhere on my steering rack. I'm in the process of doing a complete front end suspension refurb so thought I might as well change that while I'm at it.
There are a couple of used ones on Ebay but I could then end up with the same problem in a few months time. There are also a few on Ebay who sell recon ones with an exchange for the old unit. Has anybody dealt with any of these companies or have a recommendation of a reliable place for a good recon rack ?? Cheers, Mark

I have had three racks off Lion Automotive. www.lionautomotive.co.uk . Found them to be ok. They will refurb you're own if you send it.

Mark - what sort of £££ are they quoting for reconditioning the rack? I know of someone with a 760 that is not just weeping but crying its heart out by comparison, i was going to point him in your direction for a rack but obviously if you need one, you don't have a spare!

I sold my good breaker one in November ( sods law and all that ) and mine then started leaking slightly at the turn of the year They are £209.00 for a recon rack and you get £100 refunded when they collect the old one Seems very reasonable to me There are a couple on Ebay at the moment but you are effectively buying another 20 year old + rack

That doesn't sound too bad, £109 (after the refund for the core unit) for an essentially new rack.

I phoned the firm in California and they said they'd send a rack directly, which was delivered a few days later. That was six years and about 80,000km ago. The rack has worked perfectly since being fitted. |
