Need to rebuild my steering rack, during assembly I found there is a spring loaded tensioner that puts pressure on the rack that has a plastic or nylon covered cup on the spring. The plastic piece is worn away, need new plastic or nylon cup!

Any sources? Any rebuilders out there U guys have used ? There might be other stuff worn my eyes can't see, whats recommended?

I would say that you need to talk to Pelican Parts.

They offer a rebuilt rack called the "quick rack" which is a geared down version that offers less lock to lock rotation, something like 2/3's reduction.

Therefore, they know of a rebuilder, and quite possibly a parts source for the internals.

Last time I checked about $200 out of a rebuilder in Palm Springs...

Several others exist...don't know pricing though

Most don't rebuild the manual rack as there is no market for it and they don't go bad that oftem.....914 & 911 same thing

How many do you want?

Do a search on the Pelican 911 board. Within the last month someone was posting pics on how to disassemble and rebuild the rack yourself. But why bother rebuilding when you can just buy another for like $50-100?

sorry, the "quick rack" seems to be no longer listed...

I would call, they can still get it, andif all else fails, call them...the web site is not always complete....

It was there in the last version of the site.

Slight hijack...

You guys keep asking "why?"

For my resto I'd like to take mine partway down to restore it so that it appears something closer to new rather than the crapped out appearance it currently has.

Appearance? All they do is run the housing thru a parts washer and then media blast them....depending upon the rebuilder, they will be left aluminum finish, painted blue (ATSCO), black (A1/Cardone)? or some other color.

The rack itself is cleaned and if good, put back in. Same with pinion

Mine is pretty skanky. I haven't tried to just "clean" it, but based on it's appearance, I was expecting to have to bead blast it.

No, not "big time". It's "BIG TIME". If the deal is real you have quite a find.
