    Power steering rack

    Any advice as to where to get the best deal for a reconditioned steering rack, so many out there. Had one lasted 100 miles over 18 months, supplier is not interested as years warranty is out. Thanks

        Its best to to stick with the rack you have and have it rebuilt. However, the one that lasted 100 miles could be a bad one.

          Have a word with Paul McLaughlin at Stag Classics in Alton Hampshire. When I was talking to him about something else, I remember him saying that he uses a guy in the South West, Cornwall I think. I have a mental note to go back to Paul if and when I need one.

                  Paul fitted a new (recon) rack for me yesterday from the 'Cornish firm'. The steering feels much tighter/firmer and no rattles. He also fitted a new insert on the near side strut. Both things requiring doing after a tour of the Brecon Beacons and Cambrian Mountains in May!

                      M & P just did mine after it recently sprung a leak from the control unit.

                      Extremely fast turnaround and £235 for my LHD rack including courier collection and return (£205 quoted for RHD).

                      So far no leaks or signs of concern. Steering has tightened up a lot, bit heavier than I am used to but then again the torsion pins on my old rack were 48 years old and pretty worn!

                        I went through 3 like this from the late 90s - each one lasted a few miles (and just over a year) before it filled one or both rack bellows with atf, all bought from main suppliers and before such things as internet auction sites etc etc all suppliers quoted their 1 year warrantee or less but offered to take it back in exchange for another at full cost. yeah righto

                        The rack that has been on my car since early 2001 came from Tony Hart when he was wearing his HRS shirt. No idea who refurbished them for him but they did a 1st class job.

                        No help at all I know, but your issue is not a new one unfortunately.

                          If you buy a rack as supplied and fitted then you should have good protection under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 regardless of any warranty time limit.

                            I think I will go South West next time, If I can't sort out my original rack that has the hydraulic locking problem after a high speed cruise/run, I may send it to them, will try changing all the seals in and on the spool valve first , now I have somewhere apart from the kitchen floor to do it
