I had about 20mm plus slack in the steering so set out on a mission today to fix it. The rack was a reco from A2 so I was happy it was a good one. I changed the 2 SLR steel knuckles to 2 with no movement and I am now down to a go kart!! 1/2mm non movement if that.!! I am stoked!! Did an oil change while I was there and finished the alloy drop tank fitting. The XU1 diff is nearly ready to go in so all is done when that is done!. If you have steering play..chase it! it aint supposed to be there! And it is a different car to drive now,

Theres not that much inside them anyway, isnt it just a couple of bushes to told the rack in place? Thats what appeares wrong with mine anyway, the rack moves up or down before it moves side to side. I was thinking about just machining up a couple of new bushes at work and getting some new boots for it. Is it that simple or not?

I thought they were either 15 or 16. I reckon 15s give a good look on the LC/J. They are big enough, but dont look too big
