Steering Rack Re-Fitting

[mad-driver]

Just coming to refitting the rack, and there appears to be some kind of glue/adhesive of the bulkhead where it was fixed. I have been told you need to use some glue when refitting. Has anybody heard of this, and if so what do you use?

Never heard of that before. Not seen any glue on any Novas I've removed the rack from. Pretty sure Haynes doesn't say anything either?

dont need any, just bolt the rack back in place

Took mine off the other day and there was no glue anywhere

Same here ive never seen any glue or such like just rebolt it back up mate.

probabably the remains of the rack bushes after many years of being hot and incontact with the bulkhead.


there might have been some silicon round the entry to the car though to ensure it was watertight

Thanks guys, just wanted to clear that up.

Stu, it does look like it could have come from the bushes, they appear to have been glued on, can't think why though :confused:

Thanks all

Sam
