Hey all, my lil red MB shat a steering rack just before i went overseas and now im back im needing a replacement.
Found this thread so i'll look into Supercheap...

I know these things are like rocking horse shit so what else goes in?
Im assuming Alto CA72v, Hatch SS80v will be a direct bolt in but im thinking they will me about as thin on the ground as MB units.
Do SA Swift ones go close?
How about Mira or Sherpa?
Ideas?

Ps. Brayden, this is kinda a WTB topic but wasnt sure if i should jam it in there.
Feel free to move it if you see fit. :wink:

Unless the rack has completely smashed internals then it can be reco'ed. I'd look into that.

Pedders or Driveline services should be able to help with a rebuild. I might find others when I find my old suppliers contacts book
So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..
