I have contacted walkinshaw they do not have any and was also told by them that pedders do not currently have any either can anyone help

Get yours refurbished?

Kiley-Clinton in Birmingham are incredibly good and know their stuff.

Have you tried Roger at pedders UK to see if he can obtain a quick rack for you

[Powermaster1]

Hi the guy at walkinshaw said that pedders haven’t got any as that’s where he gets his from

No more racks sadly. Contact Brett for a s/h one.

What! No more full stop or just out of stock for now?

Well ain't that just great!

That's not good! Track rod ends and racks seem to wear badly on them. Luckily my quick rack was replaced within the last 15,000 miles so fingers crossed I should be good for a while.

The thing is this steering rack would be used on other GM vehicles it would not be bespoke to this car only. If we can find out what other vehicles use this rack and related suspension items parts would be a lot easier to find.perhaps Roger at pedders may know what other vehicles uses these items.

The Monaro was still effectively the VT/VX/VY/VZ platform, I'd be surprised if Australia wasn't making racks any more for such a vast array of their cars, but perhaps performance racks not so much...?

Could be better off asking on JustCommodores.com.au or somewhere like that to find out what the Aussies do

It isnt. Unique to commodore.

Nobody is "making" racks any more. Rebuilding them, yes. New, definitely not. Lets not lose sight of the fact that the last of these cars rolled off the production line in 2006, thats 15 years ago.

Edited to add, in theroy i could still get racks, providing i return an appropiate "core". 2 issues, the rack going back would need to be the same ratio as the new one. So fitting a quick rack to replace the standard one isnt going to fly. 2nd, even assuming the "right" rack was going back, the costs, and logistics involved in this mean it would become expensive very quickly.

Have any of you spoken to Kiley Clinton?



When nobody else would look at a Cerbera rack, these boys came up trumps. Pretty sure they will be able to sort you out. And yes, even turn a standard rack into a quick rack perhaps.

[Powermaster1]

Hi thanks for that I will contact them 👍

Keep us updated on this. Especially if they can make rack into quick rack. I feel there is a tiny bit of play in mine so might in future need replacement.

[Powermaster1]

Definitely will do

[Lincsls1]

Any update on this? Did you contact them?
