Rebuilding the steering rack
Anyone on here tried building the steering rack. Can you still get the parts to do this?
Looking to fit quick rack parts

I've bought a quick rack couple weeks ago.
Yet to strip my spare rack to see what's what.

I had a look for the same but it appears majority have only replaced. Can't be much to it though, i'll take a few photo's etc when i strip my spare rack so i can see whats replaceable.
I would imagine you'd want new rod ends and boots, and a tub of grease. Probably a few cir clips holding stuff together and the odd bolt. Might be an exploded diagram in Haynes manual but i haven't checked yet.
The quaife quick rack kit is literally just two pieces.

Just the rack and the pinion gear come in the kit. That's all there is.
Intended for replacing the ones inside your own rack.
