just noticed on my car the rubber steering coupling that joins the rack to the steering linkage is split were do i get a new 1 from get engine back next week so need 1 asap

 

Could try fords ???

 

NLA, best thing to do is find a manual steering normal sierra and use that one with your ends, so you cut the bolts holding it in place on the donor one then same on yours then use the decenbt donor rubber bit with bolts through, I would use a blob of weld to make sure the bolts don't come undone!!

I recently used one off a very late normal Sierra with pas. It required slightly modding due to it being slightly longer, just two min with a hack saw to lop off a bit fromt he end....apart from that it fitted straight in and also it has the rubber coupling mounted slightly further down..which is great for me as it moves it away fromt eh T4 heat

The grpA coupling was a solid afair with no rubber joint...maybe an engineering firm could make you a sandwich plate the right thickness out of steel? It may creat a slight amount of tizz thru the wheel at high revs but cant see much else being a problem??

 

There might be a new one on ebay

 

very hard to get a hold of one.

I have went thru three now.

When you do get another one mate, ptotect it form the heat off the downpipe and it will last a bit longer

 

I put a group a joint inplace of the rubber bit on mine.

I had same problem with my 3 door, the rubber is the same as on a land rover discovery coupling, so I got a good one of those 2nd hand for £15 and ground the rivets off, then used this on my original coupling and used M8x40 cap screws to hold together and welded the nuts so they won't come undone.

 

i have just changed mine

dont even bother going to ford, bunch on idiots, took them half an hour to find the part then told me it no longer made.
I got one off paul @ North Yorkshire RS Spares.
He had a few, the one i got still had the parts sticker on (as new)

Same as a disco ?, thanks for that, got someone else's to do in a few moths.

Hi their i recently bought a steering coupler from burton power but now i have to come to install it i have found that the bushing is smaller than the space i was wondering what to do to fit it should i cut the parts that go thru the bushing?

 

Have alook at Cozzy Jeff's resto on his 3dr he's just done the same job. Got a landrover full shaft for 2/3 the price of burton.

Pics on there as well, looks nice

 

I just did mine using the Disco part, £15 for the whole linkage, bargain.
