Steering rack failure
Second MGB steering rack end bushings have evaporated in less than 2k mi and 2 years. Don't have rack out yet, but pulled rh boot and no bushing in sight, unless it's in pieces in the boot. Rack moves radially without bushing, causing toe to change and resulting in front end shake.
I know the first one that failed had nylon bushings that probably were damaged by excessive heat from the engine fire of long ago, but the new rack was supposed to be of better quality, but obviously not !
Anyone know of a better rack that is bolt in for Kirkham ?
