Reply to "Steering rack questoion"

superlightMember

Greetings to all. After hearing a hellatious clunk over most bumps, and removing both rubber boots, I've discovered my right tie rod has WAY too much radial movement and is the cause of the clunking. I would like to get the forums' thoughts before I call parts suppliers for details and cost. Can anyone supply a bit more info such as:

- Are replacment bushings available -or- just rebuilt assemblies on an exchange basis?
- If bushings are available, I imagine it calls for removing the rack, slipping or pressing out the old and inserting the new bushings?
- Approximate cost of a pair of new bushings?
- Approximate cost of a rebuilt rack assembly with exchange?
- Any recommendations for a particular source for either the bushings or the rebuilt assembly?

Thank you very much in advance,

Pete
