Steering rack set up

[richardd]

Hi Guys,

Have just bolted the steering rack in position and fitted the track rod ends and even when they are fully wound on I cannot get the discs to parallel or slightly toe-in as suggested.

The build instructions states that the GDJag installation might require the rack ends to be shortened by a 1mm or so but this won't help to solve my problem as I've run out of thread on the steering rack.

Any advice please??

perhaps the rack arms have been fully wound in at the rack end?
you can loosen off the gaiter and check this

Hi

I had the same problem. The rack had to be replaced as the rack arms where to long. Andy replaced the rack after it was confirmed at fault.

I had the same problem, ie the track rod ends screw on up to the end of the thread on the rack and still not enough toe in.

My solution was to grind off about 5mm from each track rod end, enabling them to screw on another 5mm each..

Problem sorted..

There ain't no replacement for displacement..
