What the fooks wrong with the steering rack? Is it the original one?

It's had a squeaking since Anglesey, it clunks and has play in the wheel :(. It was also dodgy and intermittent ever since the pump exploded so probably a good idea to sort while the engine can be removed :) I have a spare anyway but might be worth just putting a new one in! The car is going to be pretty much brand new by the end of the week, driveshafts, all wheel bearings, rack, TRE's, Ball joint's, suspension and top mount bearings all since the last race
Rumbled. Damm.
Haha :)

Just noticed my rack has a very slight knock to it if I move the wheels. I don't feel this when driving it mind you.
 
I don't know if the knock is anything to worry about Mark but my rack generally has seen better days and while its in bits I would be silly not to sort it. Hope the prep for snett is going well :)

Yeh it is only slight so I might leave it for now, as i say under power steering I dont feel it anyways.

Prep is going well buddy, just fitted my new race radiator. Pics soon..

I fitted those to hold the microphone cable in place but Fred has already had words with me about it so I have learnt from my mistake and will remove them ;) lol

That might be difficult politically as the car owner and thread starter are two different people, so who decides? lol

If you had constantly updated threads for all your cars, you would have to employ someone to write them for you or quit your job to have enough time free, lol
 
ABS no longer exists on the car but instead the brakes are now all plumbed in and sorted :)! I have swapped the stuff over from the old rack to my spare as couldn't get a new one in time so got to hope the spare is okay! Got to fit that back in the morning and also waiting for a new clutch and then box and engine can go back in! Then fit the new loom and hoping we can sort it from the electronics side of things :)

Got to give it to Fred and Zoltan they have pretty much rebuilt most of the car since I left it with them lol! Thanks to Fred for finding me a hotel too as I had been disorganised but he's found me a very nice place with a cracking pub which I have just returned from ;)

Will try and update with pics of what's been done when I get on the computer!
