Jake Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I've just has a full alignment check done on my 1993 RZ. Everything was within tolerence apart from the front toe in which was just slightly outside tolerence, I already knew about this because Paul K fitted a replacement steering rack for me recently and told me to get the tracking checked. The guy said he was impressed with how close to spot on Paul had got it. Not bad for a 12 year old car to not really need anything adjusting!

Jake Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 I might have some steering rack issues...how did you know it had gone It hadn't gone, I thought it had but changing the rack didn't fix my no-power-steering problem. Paul got it working in the end but that was after he'd changed the rack for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben-san Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Hey m8 - I'm only up t'other side of Twickenham Will do Paul, Jake's obviously chuffed with what you did for him. No dangerous issues at the mo, just want to do some proper maintainance at some point, with someone who knows where and what they're at in a supe. You're just round the corner anyhoo, all I can say is 'see ya soon'! B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 It hadn't gone, I thought it had but changing the rack didn't fix my no-power-steering problem. Paul got it working in the end but that was after he'd changed the rack for nothing. That was a long-term prob if I recall, can you divulge what the problem was, seeing as you'd done the fluid, pump and rack I didn't think there was much left -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 Blimey, old thread. Sadly the guy that checked the alignment didn't notice that the new steering rack was only held in with one bolt!. how much is a new rack ???About £600 for a new one. Luckily I picked up a good used one from eBay for the remarkable price of £26 and free delivery courtesy of Ian C That was a long-term prob if I recall, can you divulge what the problem was, seeing as you'd done the fluid, pump and rack I didn't think there was much left -IanAccording to Mr Kent the PAS pump I got from CW was no good (seems unlikely, but that's what he told me) and fitting a third one, from Gav's car, solved the problem.
