PeterAllen Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I'm just trying to refit the steering rack with rubbers I recently purchased. When I removed the rack I noticed the rubber (red) on the larger mount was not making a complete circle around rack. I now find that the new rubber (black) is even smaller. I appreciate that it will spread somewhat when I actually clamp it but it will still be some way short of completely encircling the rack. What's the go here?

Scoota G Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 There should be two different rubbers for each side. One is smaller, i think you're trying to fit the wrong one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but that's not it. Could it be a non-'72 240Z rack that someone has fitted? Were 260Z racks different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzzed Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 i have the same problem so i will be interested to see others opinions on this. I have just clamped it down any way for the time being until i can find something that actually fits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Camouflage Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Were 260Z racks different? Yep I think they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZeder Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 260z racks are different. One mounting bush is the same the other is larger so it looks like you have the 260z bush kit to me not the 240z kit. 240z racks have a bolt in them that can be removed and replaced with a grease nipple. 260z don't have this feature. 260z racks have two bearing on the input shaft and 240z unit have one and a bush if I recall correctly. 240z racks come in one ratio 3.6 turns lock to lock? 260z have 2 different ratios if I recall. One is 3.5 the other is 3.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
