replacement steering rack bushes

[dixieflatline]

Does anybody know if it's possible to get replacement bushes for the steering rack? It doesn't need a full refurb or I would send it off to Kelly Bray Steering, but the bushes have definitely seen better days.

Have you asked if they'll sell you the parts ?

[dixieflatline]

I haven't, but only because I was hoping to get poly bushes rather than rubber bushes. Having said that, I don't know for sure that it was rubber bushes they manufactures... hmmm... right I'm off to make a phone call.

When you said "bushes" I thought you meant the metal bushes inside the actual steering housing that the rack part slides in.

Don't think the mounting bushes would be part of a recon rack anyway ?

Finding these was easier than having something added to the Parts List Norman

Do I remember we had a PH based Parts List at one time or is it still on the original website only?

That's what I was looking for! Great work. I was getting a bit mixed up about the difference between the steering rack bushes and the mounting bushes. The steering rack bushes are fine, so it's probably just as well I didn't get a chance to ring Kelly Bray Steering this afternoon.

This is the one I was thinking of, quite easy to update, just click on the link at the end of the heading.

The only problem is that no one checks/deletes as needed!
