how do you rebuild a steering rack?
hey up all!
Alex is over at mine and we are going to rebuild the steering rack. Anyone know how to do this? What is the process and what bits do we need to do
it?
Cheers,
mads

Dunno that's a tricky one. The real wear on a rack (that's genuinely problematic) is that the centre develops 'play/slop.
This is invariably due to wear on the racks centre tooth. ONLY a fresh rack gear will fix it. From experience that part is genuinely difficult to
find.. new. Don't need to ask how I know this :-)
Often a New repro or otherwise rack is far easier cheaper.
In my part of the world a Clone Triumph 'quick steer'... 2.5 turn instead of 4 turn.. rack is $120 ! complete.
Allegedly the quality is better.
Although that's not a huge claim as the OEM ones weren't great to begin with..
otherwise a replacement wouldn't be required :-)
