Dear friends, my car (Toyota 121) has a persistent “daka daka” sound coming from the rack.Rack ends, CV joints and all others are fine. The rack was replaced 2 yrs ago but then the issue re-appeared recently.M..t..r.. garage toldme to replace the entire rack again, whereas another mechanic suggested to apply grease adjust the rack since it was fixed only 2 years ago.The latter is cost effective though I doubt its sustenance. (yes.. combed thr AutoLanka forum!). I also feel that I was caught to a bad rack last time, but the selection and fixing of the reconditioned rack was entirely handled by a garage as I am not that familiar with the subject. My bad. Now that fixing a new rack is looming again, I wonder how I could select a proper reconditioned rack and where to look for it. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
I have an empty parking slot at home previously occupied for 6 years by the starlet and 3 months by an AD wagon -what would be a bang-for-the-buck fun shitbox? Preferably auto as I live in a crowded suburb that has sapped the joy of stick shift out of my system.
