Just want to do the MOT test before she goes to Autotrader, but unfortunely she got failed, so I got to get both sterring RACK GAITORS and REAR BUSH (brand new) soon, as my last MOT is nearly expiry. I don't even know what RACK GAITORS is, does anyone know where can I get those from? Also I have seen the web of Z-centre, but I don't know I need the bush only or the whole bush kit, please help!!!!

 

Thanks for all replies

They are the protective rubber boots on the pivots of the steering rack I believe, only about 10 quid maximum,

thanks but where can I buy it from? as the engineer in garage said it is not easy to buy. Also does anyone know what is the fitting cost, as they told me that it will cost me a bout 150 quit for replacing bush, and about 80 quit for Rack Gaitors, does it make any sense?

 

Thanks indeed

I'd try nissan, im sure they would hold them in stock, as for fitting times im sure paulc or duffer would know better :)

try mike feeney in the traders section.

 

front rack gaitors are quite easy to do, wheels off, track rod end off (count the turns to put them back in the same place), lock nut off then undo the clips & slide them off.

 

after fitting you should have the tracking checked, but if you put the TRE's back in the same place it shouldnt be far out.

 

rear bush - what one?? theres loads!!

 

the one that wears most is the one in the rear hub where the hicas link arms bolt on to, never done one but not too bad i wouldnt have thought, as long as you have pullers/a press which you may need

Thanks for your reply, I don't know much about mechanic, and what they told me is
