Steering rack and more
Posted: Sat Jan 03, 2026 11:34 am
Hi,
My Christmas drive ended with the rack splattering PS fluid out, thankfully just outside my parking lot. And thankfully not on the 750km road trip the month earlier. Phew.
Looking to change / upgrade the steering rack/the whole system. My current rack has been rebuilt thrice, and lots of groans coming from the pump.
- Steering rack (purple tag if possible or a stock rack) with the necessary connecting pipes if a purple tag rack
- PS Bottle (new if possible, as I've heard it has a filter inside that cannot be changed and therefore has a life)
- PS hoses (new/newish)
- PS pump (new/newish)
- Anything else that needs to be replaced
All this for a 1986 316 (1.8L M10) carb car. Posted to Mumbai, India.
Please help!
