try heating it with a torch??

 

We got it out with a hammer haha

 

that did the trick !
busted em loose then hammered the bushings out, this kits been a pain in the ass so far but its going to be a blast.. ill post some pics tomorrow, im a lil more than half way done so far

 

Anyone have any tips on replacing a steering rack? That my project tomorrow most likely. Forecast is 106 with like 30% humidity.

 

Everything out of the way? Mine was a bitch!

 

how long did it take for your original one to go out?

 

Yeah, my tranny is removed right now. On the first gens pat the racks are in the rear and not much around them. I was more wondering if fluid was going to pour out of the lines.

 

Maybe 4 hours from start to finish, my buddy who is a master tech did it though

Hmm i assume it will

 

I hope it took longer than four hours for your rack to take a shit.

 

Drove into boulder, broke rack lol 65,000 miles

 

i meant as for how many miles until you replaced it haha. or if you noticed it go after going up a tire size or something. cause mines completely gone as well.

 

Hahaha! Just messing with you Patty Cakes!

 

damn.. sounds like i did the same thing except off a dune. did yours make a horrible popping noise when you were turning? haha. that happened at about 65k for me as well.

 

hmm no noises but it was insanely hard to steer, like 4 point turns to turn into a parking spot

 

yeah i have that same problem too haha.

 

Is there anyone that has put a beefier rack in? is there much involved to upgrade?

 

Its your rack lol go to napa, get one that has the warranty!

 

i figured. its been thought a lot hahaha.

either ill do that or go see if theyre is any possible beefier options like chris asked.

 

Just swap it out with this...
