Super jealous of the euro rear bumper. Looks incredible.
My buddy that lives about 5 minutes from me bought his red turbo that he and his son toured the US in. It’s a very nice car and has had a lot of love put into it. Small world.

Re: Steering Rack question
I spent a few hours messing with the car this morning and ended up putting a small shim under the spring. This took care of 95% of the issue and the car feels nearly perfect again. Not sure if this will be a permanent fix but it made a huge difference. I can’t be happier. The spring tension didn’t ...

Re: Power steering rebuild
There are several old write ups on depowering our racks. May want to do a google search on it. I personally don’t know what it takes to do it but it has been done many times.
I have never seen it done and I am not sure how well it works either.

Re: Steering rack question
Hi dr bob , you are 100% correct on measurements being the best course of action. Unfortunately, I don’t have a dial gauge. I can however visually see the movement in the rack that corresponds to the noise. It sure appears to be an internal rack issue. You are also correct that both sides should ...

Re: Power steering rebuild
Obviously I am having an issue with mine right now, but to answer your questions. Yes, you can easily do the job with the car on jack stands. If the question is, do you have to raise the car at all? I would say you would be hard pressed getting it done all on the ground.
As far as the hose, they ...

Re: Steering rack question
No, I am positive the steering rack bushings are good.
I am referring to the internal bushing in the rack. There is a cover where the ground strap bolts too. When you remove that there is a bushing that presses against the rack with a spring and then the cover on the outside. It seems that there is ...

Re: Steering rack question
Thanks so much for the response. Yes, it is newish and is still tight. You can feel it inboard of the inner tie rod.

Steering rack question
Alright, I have a strange one. My rack has play on the driver side. When you turn the wheel from side to side quickly it makes a light clunking noise that you can feel in the car. I had my daughter turn the wheel side to side with me under the car and it is coming from the driver side of the rack ...
