Re: Steering rack removal
i think you don not have space to take out the rack without lowering the engine strut...by the way, how much it cost your new rack?

Re: Steering rack removal
the strut doesn't need to come out completely but you need to lower it because you need space to pull the rack from the hole that inputs the pinion inside the car (the one that connects to the steering column)...
