Clio 182 ff
I replaced the gearbox in my car and currently have the sub frame removed. The steering rack has been disconnect from the steering column with the pinch bolt and is suspended underneath the car on strong cable ties.
Which would be the easiest/correct way to re-assemble them back together? i.e. bolt the subframe back up loose to the car and bolt the steering column to it, then tighten the subframe then insert the pinch bolt or insert the pinch bolt first?
I noticed as well the the square section bar on the steering rack that inserts into the steering column is machined to allow adjustment. Why is this adjustment required? Sorry if the questions seem stupid but I don't want to bugger up the steering rack.
Thanks for the help in advance.
