HI!

 

I just replaced the steering rack due to massive leaking and now I'm getting a nasty creaking noise,the car feels like an old bed.Steering,breaking,when starting in 1st gear creaking is allways the same

 

With the new rack I put new wishbone bushes.

 

Any ideas?

Top mounts are fine,ARB bushes looks fine,tie rods and end rods were replaced months ago.

 

What else?

I'm so tired ,it took me 6 hours for the rack replacement,with brushing every bolt from rust....so now my mind is not in the best shape

I tight up the wishbone front bolt with the car on the ground

I had this after a local garage replaced the cam belt and water pump.

 

They spilled a load of coolant into the lower arms and bushes, which caused horrendous eternal 'old bed' style creaking.

 

I was able to get rid of it temporarily by spraying a load of WD40 into the rubber bushes - but the only permanent resolution in the end was replacement.

Sounds like the same thing i had, turns out it was the drop links.

No guys,is a bad rack.

I was fitted a bad steering rack.
