Refreshing steering rack

[bearne1]

Managed to source a second hand unit new inner tie rod and TRE's but wondering if there is anything else to consider before having it fitted?

Aware of the Powerflex mount bushes bit might as well cover all bases before it goes in.

Final question, do the racks go in complete with everything attached?

FWIW the steering on my valver was markedly different once I had the inner tie rods replaced and the movement in them removed!

Main reason why I have the spare rack to have a play and work out for myself what I can and can't replace without have to go to a garage. My inner tie rods are the age of the car other than one of the gaiters so be interesting to see how they make the car feel once replaced.

Cool, let us know how the new rack feels!

Fitted the new track rod ends and inner tie rods but not yet driven the car long enough to get a feel for it, but all needed replacing due to MOT advisories last year and the fact that they were all the age of the car.

Ran it into my local garage with the Hunter alignment gear so hoping the car will feel refreshed and refined.
