Hmm,

Thinking that all my troubles would be over (hmm). I can now hear a tiny clunk when i turn my steering wheel to the left when stationary. The car is on lowered springs so I expect to eat thru bearings at a fair old whack.

The steering rack came very loose in my old Nova when I fitting a full suspension kit but I am surprised that even with my cars low miles; the rack seems to be going like the old one again.

Any Ideas? - Is it normal for a little clunk on the steering rack when I turn it? - is there a nut that I can tighten? - How much for a new rack and how hard are they to fit?

Answers on a postcard plz :)

TIA

they all clunk a bit, mine had a recon rack on last year and it was miles better then the old one but it clunked from new.... as for replacing yours get a quick rack kit from tweeks etc..... under ?90

A quick rack sounds like a good idea, just wondering if I'll actually be able to dry steer anymore!

when buying a quick rack do you get he full shabang odr is it just the rack and pinion that you have to fit to the existing rack?
