Yeah they'll normally still do it even if it's an old one if it's related to safety. | |

Also worth noting that there was a recall on racks over a certain chassis range with the original fault being due to what you have described | |

Ok thanks Joe. As said the rod ends have been changed so the only other option is the other bushes. The tracking has also been set up wrong. :rolleyes: | |

No need to take the rack off. May aswell change it if your doing that. Can do rack ends with it on the car. It's pretty much certain to be them. | |

Ok well I'll get the rack taken off and inspected before I buy a new one. Hopefully it is just the rack ends. | |

It's more than likely just the rack ends as Ian said.. | |

Plus with EPS the rack itself isn't a massive job because you've no pipes to mess with in the bay. Just the four bulkhead bolts and the retainer on the column and it should be free. | |

I had a look under and its had new rod ends, whether the owner thought they where the problem and just replaced those maybe!? I read last night that its the bushes inside the rack that ware out. I'm not entirely sure how they look etc so perhaps it is just those. if not a refurbed OEM one is £50 off ebay. | |

The rack ends go on these as well, might not need the entire thing changing. | |

Looked at a Corsa C SRI Yesterday for the missus, the car was spot on apart from a bit of noise/play from the steering rack. The car is a bargain, but needs a new rack, looked on ebay and they all seem to be for a corsa c 2000-2006 no specific models or engine sizes? are they all the same eps unit? Thanks. |
