Does anyone know of any places that have pre reconditioned steering racks?

Mines needs an overhaul but getting one already done seems easier

tried just jap at kirrawee? I had southcoast suspensions put a new rack in mine.I think it may have come from just jap as they are only around the corner

I got mine re-conditioned about 3 months ago, no good :domokun:

for the money it cost I would have been better getting new or even a second hand working one.

You had your rack rebuilt and its still not good? care to explain what it feels like? I had my rack rebuilt and it still didnt feel right the day i drove it. Felt better but not the best. then went down hill over a couple of weeks until it got back to whrere it was before the rebuild.

just really crunchy, and there are still splinters of metal coming out when you bleed the p/s from the rack.

it also boils over alot again.. it stopped as soon as I got it rebuilt.. but then it came back again shortly after. I think the boiling is the pump and the metal splinters are the rack.

I can't remember the exact cost, but it was about 1000 to get the pump and rack done, including removing and replacing it... probably a bit more as i got it done in two stages and I remember the last bill was 1000 (which included somethign else aswell)

I haven't even been giving it a hard time.

actually.. f**kin hell, that shits me... i had a spare power steering rack at my mechanics now that i think about it.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
