Lucifer Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hey guys, as you may be aware im totally reconditioning my car. however I can't seem to find any documentation on reconditioning the steering rack. Does anyone do this, know how to do this or at least know what is involved. Can't say I have ever done one. I could be going out on a limb here, but I suspenct CW does it.... Cheers. guys.

Chris Wilson Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Price one up from Toyota, it's the sort of thing it's better to spend a few bob more on and have brand new, IMO. No doubt a seal kit is available from Toyota, but that won't compensate for spool valve wear, or spindle wear. Having said all that i see VERY few knackered racks on MKIV's.

Lucifer Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 It's not the fact its knackard, its just got 80k on it, and as Im changing virtually every part for new, I though I may has well do it. Toyota it is then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 You wont like the price though! We are changing quite a few Supra racks nowadays due to wear, including one on my own car. So I'd say by a new one if you can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I've never recond a Supra rack before so dont know I'm afraid. I do know the rack we changed last week on a customers was a recon rack and lasted about 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 How much are the genuine articles? I would guess around 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 More like £800 + VAT from memory, bit cheaper from Japan though if you really want one. Should be able to save a couple of hundred for you that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
