I'm looking for a TRW steering rack from a 240. I don't mind about the condition, tie rods, etc, as long as the piston isn't damaged/rusting.

Can offer a manual rack in exchange if you're interested.

Does it have to be a trw rack or would any complete and in good condition rack suit?

Needs to be a TRW rack, I like them better than the CAM racks

Recently removed from 1992 240 wagon. No apparent leaks. $100 pick up Daylesford VIC. Does not include steering shaft. Likely needs new tie rods/ends. I have several 240 racks available take your pick.

      I think this one is CAM...I have a couple others but I think they might all be CAM.

        I stand corrected - it is TRW according to https://people.physics.anu.edu.au/~amh110/STEERING/steering_camgears_trw.htm

        Further the one I have for sale has a "96" date stamp so must have been replaced in the car somewhere along the way.

        I could chuck it in Bob's trailer/ute and he could bring it up to Wollongong in early Sep. if you're interested. :)

        @carnut222 I'd prefer to sort mine out sooner than that, can I sleep on it for a few days and see if I can't find one closer?

        No prob. This one felt like it was super-over-boosted when in the car - not sure what could cause that? How do the racks know how much boost to provide?

          If you do sleep on it then ill take it. I need a new rack for my 240.

            @Slowbrick what's wrong with your rack? I'm having everything rebuilt anyway, I just need a rack that has no rust on it.

            @carnut222 I've never heard of anyone adjusting it. I had a look around and it doesn't seem like it can be adjusted (not easily, anyway).

              I dont have a rack in the 240. It donated it rack as a core for the 245 for an exchange rack.

              Also I think you can adjust the level of assistance, i remember reading something on cleanflametrap ages ago about adjusting the assist bias via some adjustment bolt or something behind the plastic bung.

                I know I have spare 7/9 racks, I think I might have some spare 240 racks
