PeteWA I am in Perth and looking for a serviceable power steering rack. The rack removed is a TRW unit. Happy to pay for shipping and associated costs Thanks
Major Ledfoot PeteWA If you're not having luck finding a replacement rack locally from members, Berry Motor Group in MEL should have them. I got one for my 940 from them and it was here in TAS in 2 days from order.
PeteWA Easier said than done. The head of the rack where the spool fits is now out or round. TRW in there wisdom decided that a ball or needle support bearing for the top of the spool was not necessary. When I removed the spool it literally shaved the teflon seals. So the same will happen with the new seals when they are refitted. Even if the sharp edges are removed oil bypass will still occur and that was the reason for disassembly … it was leaking.
RichGT I have a CAM rack, but you'll need to pay for postage from me in Auckland. It was fine, just needs the tie rods/seals replaced
PeteWA Major Ledfoot Hi Major, thanks for the recommendation. I spoke to Mark at Berry Motors yesterday and a rack is on its way as of this morning. Cheers Pete
PeteWA RichGT I think a new rack would be 'unobtainable' however a rebuilt rack from Berry Motors cost me $740 Completely resealed, new bearings, new tie rods and boots. No tie rod ends. Cheers
PeteWA Many thanks to those that replied. I have purchased a rack. As I am new to this site could someone please tell me if this post should be removed and if so how this post can be removed. Cheers Pete
