Price Of A Steering Rack

[rangerover]

I might have to replace my steering rack on a toyota corolla 121. Any idea how much one would cost and where i can get this job done from??

Thanks

Yes it is an eps, i was told by the garage that the rack ends have to be replaced. They showed me how they were broken. Now their recommended option was to build one using some material (white hard plastic thing). They said it will be as good as new. But would it be permenant ?(i dont get that noise when i ride over bumps at the moment). Wouldnt it be better to replace the rack?

Also is it true that the 121 steering rack is designed in a manner that allows the rack to move around in a space of 1mm?

i cant belive u need to replace the sterring rack so soon.. isnt the 121 quite new...

Think you need to only change the steering rack ends and not the whole steering rack itself.. its a just a few bits of rubber & plastic which any decent garage can do

Rack ends, to my knowledge can be replaced.. what u need to worry about is the nylon bush in the center mechanism, which wears out. It's the same case in the Nissan K11, which is a pain in the ars*..

Get a second opinion mate.. the 121 rack will cost a lot, I reckon.

Ya it is the nylon bush ends.. i went to matara garage in nugegoda and they said no need to replace the entire rack and they buit nylon bushes and replaced them. I dont get that rattling noise now. But when i hit a bigger pot hole i do hear it. Was wondering if this means that this temporary solution wouldnt last long and i will eventually have to replace the rack?

Yup... this is the same thing I did on the K11... fabricating the bush is a 15mnt job... but removing and fixing the rack takes a good couple of hours...

Depending on the quality of nylon used, the bush will last longer.

How much would a steering rack unit (EPS) for a corolla cost at toyota lanka?
