I’m looking to get my 240’s steering rack rebuilt locally with a quick turn around. Any recommendations?
Thanks

Steering is for suckers, roll races ftw. Just put the front wheels on dolly’s to point it down the extension and let er’ rip.

Racks area easy to rebuild. Buy an oring kit for it and do it yourself. Just a bunch or orings really. Just lay out the shim/tension pack for the pinion that’s all so it goes back in the right order during assembly.

So is it really that easy to rebuild the rack? Do they have to be honed out or anything?

Nah it kind of pulls to one side and than the other. Everything else in the front it tight. It has new tie rod ends. I can probably rebuild it myself, I’ll check out the FSM and see what’s involved. I just don’t want to rebuild it and having something go wrong and end up flying off the road and totaling the fucking car.
