What four letter word, beggining with 'C' best describes the process of swapping the rack over on my car?...


I totally forgot that my subframe has an extra bracket added to bolt it to the bullhead beneath the box!

So, in addition to removing the usual subframe mounts, I now need to remove the inlet manifold, exhaust manifold, turbo etc...

Cunt, indeed. Lol

especially when you find the new recon rack is as bad as the old one!

While we're talking about racks...

Got my MS alu 4 pots on and they touch the tie rods (adjustable, so chunky at that end) on full lock. The car is still up in the air. Will it be OK when I drop it back down, or will I need to fit rack limiters?

I've got a set that Joe gave me if you need them.

Any recommendations for a new rack ir should I use a good used standard one?

Thanks Jamie. It may end up back on all fours today, so I'll see what happens.

Will PM you if I need them Ryland.

We had to change steering rack on my mini when it was standard, didnt seem that much of a ball ache? Lowered the subframe at the rear then took it out?

Used a recon one from motor factors cost £39 and had to exchange the old one

That was last year and its still good now

Lol. That's why Paul came along too. One lone guy in the corner of the room is much more pervy than two.

anyway....

back to racks of the non female variety....

I would suggest getting whatever rack in a vice and giving everything a damn good wiggle, preferably with the gaitors off,

pasengers side up/down of the rack bar in the rack body especially, there is a kind of bush thing in there that is retained by a screw, and Ive seen them with a fair bit of play on reconned racks,
