ascdesigns Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hello all, I just replace my steering rack bushings with some poly units I found on eBay. My driver's side was hanging on by a oil-soaked wisp of rubber, and passenger's side was actually OK. However with no reference to how the rack was mounted when new, I have this question: Is there a specific angle I should have rotated my steering rack to after I installed the two new bushings? For now, I chose a "middle" position, between the max it would rotate upwards and downwards. There's binding with some tubes when maxed upwards, and a casting on the rack that hits the frame when maxed downwards. As I have it right now (middle), there's no binding in the steering input shaft/joints but I thought it would be better to ask anyway. Thoughts? Thanks, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I replaced mine with oem from the dealer. They located the rack position with the casted lips and the mount straps. Sent from smert fone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascdesigns Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks. However, my mounting straps only have one marking on each: an arrow showing which side of the strap should be pointed "up". - Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Yes the mounting straps have that. I'll have to take some pics sometime to show you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
