Has anyone replaced the internal steering rack bush. I have a knocking noise from the front end and you can grab the passenger side steering arm and it moves up and down inside the rack quite a lot making the knocking sound. Any picks would be great

 

thanks thomo

Plastic bush is rooted. I believe there are metal replacements available.

Best to pull the rack and have it reco'ed.

Hello Thomo and +1 Dave S,

if one is worn, a lot of other parts are worn too. Dave I



would have done a lot of movement in there while driving around, light / hard work for the components.

A bit of light reading for you on the LH-LX steering rack.
