Steering Rack

[faoy]

I have this steering rack with a bit of play on one end, left hand side which results in some knocking noise. Nothing serious

but a new bush will definitely help. I know that you will all redirect me to buy a new steering rack or a second hand but all it needs is a new bush. I cant find any on the net. Everyone wants to sell a new steering rack. That,s more profitable obviously. I am sure someone is producing these bushing for citroen. Buying a second hand steering rack might result in having the same amount of play so wont gain anything. And a new one will cost exorbitantly. Its a simple fix, why make things so difficult. 

If anyone can help I will appreciate.

 

Thanks

Have you tried any companies that repair steering racks to see if they can provide the part, as an example http://www.power-steering.co.uk/

 

Have you checked the anti roll bar drop links for any play, I had to replace both on our 2003 C3 at about 30k miles due to wear and making knocking noises.

Thanks paul.

Tie rods replaced two days ago. That's how I discovered the fault. I ill try the link you gave me.

If you have more links I will appreciate it.

 

Thanks a lot.

I just did a search on steering rack repairers which came up with that example, I have not used them so it is not a recommendation but is worth atry.
