  • Steering Rack Help Plz!

    My steering rack has tons of play in it.. I was wondering whats the best solution to fix it. I was wondering if the Aspire Rack would work. Or maybe is it best just to get a whole new rebuilt one? My engine is stock 1.3 manual

    Check with Mark. He has bushings and also rebuilds them.

      I ended up buying a used one in good condition from a member on here. I don't think an Aspire one will work, not sure, never thought about trying.

        Are you sure it's the rack itself; maybe it just needs new inner/outer tie rods?

          My outer tie rods are brand new, didnt replace inner, but I did a whole aspire swap last week and it feels exactly the same. Just a little harder to turn now. Im worried the added stress will just cause it to fail on me now v.v
          I'll check out this Mark guy. The rebuild kit pretty simple and make my rack like new?

              Did you use Aspire tie rod ends when you did the swap?
