Does anyone know where I can get one for the passenger side arm. I'm due for the dreaded MOT this week and this is one of the many things I need.

Thanks all.

I just got a pair from Smithy. They're uprated and make a big difference. The passenger side one is very easy to change - driver side one is a pain in the you-know-what.

PS whilst you're checking the steering, have a good look at the steering coupling. Mine had a little bit of play in it which would have been a MOT failure. Had mine replaced and am happy to report the car sailed through the MOT last Friday!

I dont understand why one rack gaiter is harder to fit than the other ?Uprated?

I'm terribly sorry for the misunderstanding. I read the heading of the original post by TomB and understood him to be talking about the bushes, not the gaiters ... :headvswal My apologies for the confusion.

 

However, just to finish my point about why it is more difficult to fit one steering rack bush than the other:

 

It's to do with the amount of access you've got to the bushes. The passenger side bush is easier because (a) there is a lot of room around it and (b) it is a normal circular shape. The driver side bush is more difficult because (a) there is almost no room to get your hands in there to pull it out, (b) the fixing bracket is fiddly to return to it's normal position after you have put the new gaiter on and © the bush is an odd shape, making it more difficult to put on.

 

Again, my apologies for the mixup.
