So I feel I am here to embarrass myself. I’ve had my 100 for some years now. It’s been great.
I am currently on my second steering rack in under 2 years. The last two(and current) have been remanufactured OEM racks. I have narrowed a clunking sound to the steering racks. Both racks have created the same sound. I saw from under the truck when it lurches forward/stops. It seems to be loose. The looseness must’ve led to the breaking of my first one. The bolts don’t seems to get tight enough.
Here’s my embarrassing question.
Do I need purchase the rack bushings separately? I’m starting to think it’s a part I’m missing entirely. I might be dumb enough to think they were included. (I didn’t install the racks).
Then do I need to uninstall the rack fully to install new bushings?
Thanks!
