thanks mate i appreciate ur help n do u think it wuld be better 2 get it fixed at pedders or go buy a second hand rack n get my mechanic 2 do it which 1 wuld be cheaper thanks?

theres heaps of good second hand ones out there but you'd have to either trust the person your buying it from or know what your looking for when you look at it, not a hard thing for a mechanic to change over an hour 2 tops but thats a stretch

Hi mate, just wondering re pedders telling you that you need a new steering rack. Do you notice anything wrong with your car?

Such as heavy steering compared to other skylines?

get a second hand one from wreckers. about $200? (could probably bargain them down, I did for mine)

just make sure the end rods rotate well and not too stiff.

also make sure the end rods are straight too.

I got my changed to a very good condition one from $350 include labour charges. with power steering oil top up.

They most likely noticed one of the internal seals was leaking. Make sure the rack boots aren't broken and as long as its not pissing out dont bother replacing it just yet. You can get your one rebuilt. That would probably be the cheapest way. Just call around to p/s shops for a price. If you buy 2nd hand its most likely going to fail in the near future too. Not much point in replacing something old with something just as old. If it were me i would rebuild mine if infact its actually necessary. Keep in mind they are suspension people at pedders and will probably try to up-sell it to you.

^^ as he said it would be a lot cheaper in the long run to get the one you have now rebuilt.
