0 chan5 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 search recondition part shops, total rack may vary from 15k-25k. Labour charge would be anyway less than 5-4k. Or else i repaired the rack from deep downsouth rack specialist for 8k. With labour and oil and overhaul. Steering is smooth as butter. Thalawathugoda rack man ask 25 k just to repair the rack. You've to remove it in one place and bring it there. (little swollen headed in my openion). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 chan5 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 You CAN actually state the name of the place you got the repair from, it helps someone looking for a good mechanic.... to be precise. It's DKW Motors about 5 km before Dikwella town(area is called hunnadeniya if i'm remember correct) . quite a young guy, about 25y old, will remove the total rack , and dismantle upto nut bolt and washer level,fix it in a day, and fellow has a leth mechines on his garage itself, does the necessary fabrications when needed.dismantle/repair/fixing/oil will be done. Don't forget to replace all relevant horses because , with the overhaul you might see some oil leaks due to increased pressure of the system (i don't believe him on this though). Usually i'm having a terrible luck factor , so i don't believe the second hand part job.and i also had this 192 variant , if you're having any thought of spending 125 k bucks, 125k for rack.? That's way i say toyota lanka is mad ... Dkw motors-0717685190 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 c1nder Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Had my AT210 steering rack overhauled at my mech for around 15K (parts and labor) one year running. No issues. Call Sampath Motors in Attidiya 0772225500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
