steering rack or bushes

[Linton]

Hi all wanting to buy a steering rack with no internal wear, or the internal bushes for my 75 2+2 I have phoned around but had no luck thus far. I dont know if the internal bush is replaceable it doesn't come up any where in the manual that I can find

Have you tried repco. Thats where i got mine from and still havent installed them so can get the part number if you need.

thanks to be clear, I do not want the oval shaped rubber bushes on the outside of the rack but the internal bush that stops the the main shaft from banging in the LH side.

[Simestime]

No i was thinking these ones

[Simestime]

Not sure if they are correct as i havent got around to the job yet but these were advertised as steering rack bushes.

Hi Linton,

Do you have the bush as a sample?

Thanks Justin and Simestime

no haven't taken it apart as yet was sort of hoping someone might have one, there are 2 wrecked 260's here in town the guy wont take out the steering. I am not sure those shock absorber bushes above would work but you never know, it could be 5 in in your link which doesn't show in the manual I have

I'll have a spare 260 rack I can send you Linton, but I'd be unsure of condition...

Stewart @ SW Motorsport can reco steering racks.
