shawshankkid 1 Posted December 30, 2006 Hi all, i had a knock with a kerb the other day which has slightly bent my steering rack.....burning question- can this be straightened by a garage or will i need a new one ? Cheers Chris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted December 30, 2006 It can be straightened, but it's a very tricky job and it might cost you less labour to replace it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shawshankkid 1 Posted December 30, 2006 Cheers dr-mat, How much will one cost me ? and where ? Cheers Chris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted December 30, 2006 More likely to be a bent track rod or rod end. Replacing it will be easier? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted December 30, 2006 Yep - as above the rods come off the rack itself - 32mm nut basically under the steering boot - tricky to get to tho! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
