gratefuldude Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 on my 97 impreza outback, started noticing a clicking noise over bumps. got under it, and it felt like a bad inner. bought the tierods etc....went to replace............... not tie rods. tis the rack. one of the bushings is shot, and when i removed the boot, power steering fluid dumped out. so: racks are pricey. im cheap. I saw some rebuild kits online, and I am wondering how tough it is to rebuild the rack? Anything special I need? Anyone done this before?

davebugs Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 My local dealers used to actually recommend used. Rebuilds they had trouble with, rebuilt kits they didn't like for soem reason. They would actually instlal used ones - one of the few used parts a dealer would actually willingly install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dballs Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Find a U pull it yard. You can get a rack for $30 at most if you get it yourself. I got one for my 96 legacy and it was not too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Find a U pull it yard. You can get a rack for $30 at most if you get it yourself. I got one for my 96 legacy and it was not too bad That'd what I was thinking. Espacially if you can find a car with the engine already gone. It's more time/effort or more money. Take your pick. Or "how cheap are you?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
