Hi Mildred,
I'm in New Zealand. Do you still have the right hand steering rack available? I would be interested if you do.

Cheers, Ewen.

Yes, it's fresh in the box. However, as noted above, the inner tie rods and rack boots are not included.

I have a pair of NOS inner ball joints in stock that I found going cheap on Ebay a couple of years ago. Been keeping them for a rainy day.

Many of the other cars I have worked on over the years had some kind of replaceable and/or adjustable cup and spring arrangement to take up play in the joint. On a couple of rally cars we replaced the standard plastic cup with bronze ones because they can break up under loads in competition use. It was a standard modification at the time.

The steering rack boots on my car are from a Ford, EA Falcon I think.

It will be interesting to see how long it lasts, I have had mine wobble-free in the past but it has always come back within a year or so.
