    D3 Steering Rack Replacement

    Anyone know who can supply rebuilt / remfg steering racks for the Disco 3? MLR are saying mine needs to be replaced, but they want over $4k for the replacement rack.

    I've found it online for $3.3k but still.. surely someone repairs these things but I can't seem to find anyone currently.

    Would prefer someone who can fit and organise but able to do the remove/refit if required.

    I had mine replaced on my 2009 RRS probably the same part and I'm sure it was nothing like $3-4k, Ritters did it. Around $2k rings a bell installed

    Recently had mine replaced. The original quote was after market for $950. That ended up not being available so a genuine one was supplied but at 'half price' cost of $1,650.

    Knew they were around the $3,000 mark so was happy to part with the $1,650.
    Cheers, Dale

    Seems you can get an exchange unit for around $900 from UK?

    Haven't used this company but they do ship to Australia and give a refund if old unit is returned - probably not worth postage?

    Thanks everyone. I'm looking into several suggestions made here and will report back with the cheapest option I can find :-)

    FYI the girl only has 110k on the clock :-(
