Thread: Power Steering Rack Cost's

Get a new mechanic... Discoverys don't have a steering rack, they have a steering box .

If that requires repair, it is possible to overhaul them. We use a local chap here and haven't had any dramas. If you remove and refit the box, you will probably pay about half of what you have been quoted.

Yep my mistake sorry it's the box that's worn out and needs replaceing.

Well if anyone knows of a place I can order one from so my mechanic can replace it it would be great.

Try Google. It is your friend. There would be lots of places in Vic that could rebuild your steering box.

From what I can see, this is the Victorian arm of the company that I deal with here.

Don't think there around anymore I call the number and I'm told it's disconnected. I do a google search for the name and to be confornted with the same number.

I did mine about 12 months ago - $680 exchange from Graeme Coopers at St Peters NSW. Took me about 3 hours to remove and refit and only needed 'normal' tools and a ball joint separator - workshop manual helps too.

They're a heavy bugger but its worth the savings if you can do it yourself.

$1500 sounds like a punish to me.

I sell and fit a NEW one for less than $1500!! About $1200 incl freight and fitting!

$1500 for reco????

And you KNOW it'll leak just out of warranty!!

hell by the book of manhours the ADF has the replacement time of 4 hours for the powersteering unit (drive in drive away time) and the cost of the box is $950 and thats the overinflated ADF price....
