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.
Surrounded by various different nice car models in Germany but still fascinated by the Presea, Bluebird U13 and the Mark II.. The first cut is the deepest.. Baby I know, the first cut is the D he he he
