Steering rack refurb.
Discussion
Not sure if it need to come out, but a quick search thru the forum this place came up alot......... Greenwich Power Steering services, sure it was quoted about £150 to get it refurbbed.
People also said it was a bit of a bu**er of a job when assembeling it all back together trying not to nick the seals.
Hope that helps

When talking to Greenwich did anyone find out whether all Cerb racks are identical or are they remachined versions from other cars?
Really want to do the rack myself, and just get the seals. I find it easier to ask here to gain all the info possible before starting, as I hate asking questions of professionals especially as the more questions they answer the less like they are to get the business.
Obviously the weekend at the mo

Most threads I have found on this subject finish with an esso like statement. For the sake of £150 get someone else to do it.
Unfortunately I will only do this if I have no other realistic option. I'm afraid I'm just that sort of person. I want to have done it all. I want to understand it all, and I can't do that by payin the £150.
So calling all obsessives, anyone refurbed their own rack, or am I launching into the oggin again?

Dont get me wrong,if there is a job i can do on the Cerb myself then i will do it(fitted clutch,slave,master cylinder last year-as an example),but sometimes its not worth the time or grief-you have to bite the bullet and leave it to the experts!

I do draw the lines at some jobs and luckily we have APM and TCS for those occasions.

Not that much. TVR parts do the top seal. Raceproved don't seem to do anything yet but told me to ring them back if I couldn't find anyone else. Greenwich haven't replied to about three left messages.
Most people say special machines required to push out the centre seal and that its impossible for a home guy to do.

Julian, when you said the rack internals were Rolls Royce, apparently its just the pinion/coloumn end that is RR. The track rods are from a mk5 escort, and not a Scorpio, apparently.
What the rack internals are from is anyones guess.
Whilst taking my rack apart, I must have snagged the spring that sits behind one of the rubber seals in the pinion:
Oh the joys of motoring
