S2 steering rack - where to recon?

[davislove]

My S2 steering rack needs reconditioning, can anyone recommend anywhere they've had good expereinces with?

cheers

You'll probably get a better response from SELOC's technical forum.

FYI a recon rack is about £180+ VAT from Plans.

kelly bray steering racks in kelly bray cornwall is the place to go, they do loads for the sw lotus center but will do yours exchange, mine was £60+vat 12 months ago

Ummmm, only 2 hrs ago SW Lotus gave me a quote of £150 for an S2 rack......nice little markup me thinks!!

my experience is: play in the trackrod / steering rack joint + tramlining + knock from suspension area (all pretty damming really!)

Additionally if you can feel one going or need it refurb'd/replaced, budget for a geo as well. Worth doing yearly anyway, but if the rack's coming out it'll need it doing.

This is the compeny who make the racks for Lotus.
Theyre exceedingly helpful and will supply a new rack, refurbish your old one or sell the parts to refurbish.
They also offer different ratios is you want to quicken it up a bit (I did and its brilliant!)
