  • Steering Rack Bush Replacement

    Hi,
    I'll be attempting to replace steering rack bushes in my 120 due to excessive movement being felt through the steering wheel. Does anyone have any tips for this job?

    Superpro suggest taking the bottom half bush out with an air hammer then knocking out the top half from underneath. I'm not sure that there's enough space to get the chisel head in via the wheel arch.

    I'm hoping I don't have to take the rack off the car.

    Thanks,

    Just double check that the play is all in the bushes and not in the yokes of the steering linkage. IIRC 120's were prone to it.
    cheers

      I'll check when I unbolt the rack. The rack is moving left to right nearly metal to metal so the bushes are probably torn but not all theh way through.

        Done mine by extracting the rack. Even then the bushes put up a fight to get them out.
        If it can be done without removing the rack it should save loads of time.

          Had a crack at getting at the bushes. Didn't have a long enough bit on my air chisel to get to the bush from the wheel arch. I think I might just get a rebuild rack and have someone change it out for me.

              I didn't end up getting mine done. After I changed tyres the front end started to behave much better. Not perfect but not annoying. I wouldnt have thought tyres would have resulted in so much feedback if they were properly balanced. The tyre shop mentioned that he side walls lose their integrity over time and flex much more which would result in erratic behaviour when braking. That was a new one for me.
