Toyota Vios Rack Problem

[invisibleuser]

Hi friends,

Recently I've replaced the two rack-ends,stabilizer bar bushes, front shocks.
But the "dag"sound still comes from the
front while getting the bumper or in some damage roads. (mostly in the duplication road these days)
there is no oil leak in the rack.
mechanic said some areas of the rack worn and
therefore it has a play which caused sound.
now he has tightened up the rack and
when I'm getting the bends, steering not turn very easily.
(feel like without power steering).

my problem is, is it good to drive under tightened rack.
can I repair my rack without replacing it? .

It is not advisable to run for a long period with the rack over tightened for it may result in further wear of the rack. The rack is usually repairable but that depends on the extent of wear. If you are interested I can PM you the contact details of a place down old Kottawa Road.
