nipper Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Seems like we're seeing more steering rack failures. With EA, ER, and early/mid 90's EJ stuff I've hardly seen any failures (one leaking rack in an 80's Subaru a couple years ago is the only one I've seen). Seen quite a few late 90's and 2000's now. Another weak point on EJ's? Late 90's are getting in the 10-14 year old range, so I wouldnt be too alarmed. I have only seen a few 2000's issues. Also keep in mind the cars are getting heavier, so that will have an effect on the rack. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I don't know that I'd call this a "failure" just yet. Doesn't leak a drop, doesn't make any grinding or chattery sounds, just clunks when I go over certain bumps. I'm gonna leave it be for now and see how long it lasts until it falls apart or starts puking fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
