Re: Replace steering rack: straightforward? 200 1984

Gary -

The job does look straightforward, another brickster will have experience. What I do know, however, is that the job requires open up a hydraulic system, and that means cleanliness is a must. AND, look where the rack is! Down there in the dirt. Can you get it steam cleaned? You'll have to remove the gravel shield anyway.

BTW, you will have to remove tie rod ends so consider replacing them, and maybe ball joints and boots for sure while you're "In there".

Good Luck,

Bob
