Its getting to that time where im getting quotes for everything for Maverick, and one of the first items on the agenda is a steering rack recondition. Ive found a few places in brisbane just got to get quotes tomorrow.
As well as this im thinking about a steering column rebuild. Has anyone ever done one? will it really be required? Ive done some googling and theres not a lot out there, and most of which are on old old cars that NEED a rebuild. Keep in mind it will be a stressed track car (not sure if this will change conditions or recommended parts etc) but would an old 94GPX steering column be fine or should i get it rebuilt just in case? Or would a decent second hand one suffice? the one out of maverick has surface rust all up the column and cosmetically has seen better days

Re: Steering column rebuild
The column is just a couple of bearings, unis and a splined slip-joint from my understanding. Couldn't think why it would need to be rebuilt unless it was seized or the unis were stuffed.
Happy to be proven wrong though.

Re: Steering column rebuild
One of those "if its aint broken dont fix it" kind of things? Was just curious if i would see any improvement from a rebuilt one over a regular joe one - cheers for the help fraz
