subyboy Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Just a quick one. I need to replace the power steering rack bushings on my '91 Liberty. Is it as easy as loosening the bolts, replacing the bushing and re-tightening? What is the tightening torque, pretty bloody tight I presume? Anything I should know about (like supporting the rack so it doesn't weigh down/lever anything out of place)? Cheers, Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 i've done this before and it's straight forward. don't recall what exactly i did but i wouldn't worry about it too much, i didn't do anything spectacular. drop those mounts, slide the old out/new in and bolt it back up. tigthen nice and snug, i'd never bother with a torque wrench on those.

aircraft engineer Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 just the rubber bushings? Take out the 4 bolts and slide off/on the bushings. Reinstall the bolts. No need to disconnect anything else - the rack will be loose enough to get at the bushings 35-52 ft-lbs or 48-66 Nm depending on which wrench you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
