Clutch and syeering rack problems

Just me · 09-25-2003, 01:53 PM

Hello. I know that the flywheel should be machined but I said that I didn't want to because if it has hot spots due to metal break down then machining won't help. This is what scares me but if you have done machining without any problems then its worth to give it a shot being that its cheaper than buying a new one. For the steering rack, I have to turn the wheel alot more than I used to, to turn the car. When I put then front end up on jack stands with the steering wheel locked, I can freely turn my front wheels left and right. When I look under the car while doing this, I can see both rods sliding in and out of the steering rack freely. My tie rods and rod ends work fine. I started to see the symtoms of this when I put on my tubular K about 2 years ago. The bushings have been fine. Thanks for your help.
