pas rack and suspension questions

quattropower · 14-07-09, 09:18 PM

I am replacing my engine as most of you know, a aby lump should be filling the engine bay on my type 85 cq, however it seems that now is the right time to replace any hard to reach items, i.e the steering rack, my car had 120k on the clock, is there anything that you guys can advise. I wondered about reconditioning the rack, but not sure what that entails or who could do that. Any advice on this matter would be great.

Also whilst I have your attention, I am going to be fitting the complete suspension from gavs cab, will it all bolt straight on? If I change the springs to something other than standard what would you suggest?

If there is no play in the rack or leaks just change the gaiter

I think he had the v6 in the cab, it was the blue one that he sold a few months ago.

Where do I get the gaitor from, and is there anything else worth doing, may give it a quick sand blast before putting it back in or a spray.

I fancy them but just havent got the funds at the moment, to be fair I am going to end up buying a set of them in the future anyway. If by some miracle you still have them in a couple of months then I might have them off you.
