February 6, 200620 yr Ok guys, is there an easy way to change/replace the bushings on the steering rack? The 88 coupe we just got is completely missing one bushing - the rack was supposedly replaced and one of the mounting brackets/bushings didnt get put back on (bolt holes stripped! ) retapped the holes, have another set of bolts from a parts car, will be getting a new bushing, but not quite sure how to get the darn bushing up in there without ruining it. (tried to salvage the one from the parts car, but tore it) Did a search and know there are guys that have done this, but no explanation of how to do it without removing everything....
February 6, 200620 yr I do believe that you will need to un-hook the flex-joint to the steering column in order to have the rack drop down enough to get the bushing(s) in. Plus un-bolting the other bracket. Shouldn't have to disconnect anything else under there.
February 6, 200620 yr Author Thanks Tom, thats kinda what i was thinking, but wasnt sure...hopefully that will give enough clearance to get the darn thing in there. Now to go soak the shaft and pinch bolt again so when we are ready it will come off of there!
