How much a rebuild usually cost these days??

I know the ebay one was only $150.

But I wouldnt personally buy something like that...I'd always try to replace things the right way (re-build or new parts)...costs a fortune but it pays in the end

sounds like re-condition the steering rack better than replace a used rack.
anyone in melbourne has done the re-condition of the steering rack before? how much did you pay for?

Talk to Turbo Steering in Flemington... They have done plenty of soarer racks!

and the V8 % TT racks are the same.... so the ebay one will work if you get stuck!

Instead of starting a new thread I've decided to revive an old one.

I had my car in for a wheel alignment yesterday for about the 3rd time in 6months as it keeps chewing out the insides of my front tyres.

The guy spent a while going over it and said the bushes in the steering rack are gone (I have 250k on the clock) and the steering rack needs replacing as there's 5mm of play in it. I know the bushes are common to go, but do the racks wear out where you have to replace the whole unit due to play?

Also will these bushes fit a JZZ30 as I heard somewhere the supra ones are a bit smaller:

P.S. He didn't charge me anything and said I'll probably be able to source the parts cheaper myself.
