Title: URGENT - Power STEERING RACK needed
Post by: Len on November 08, 2005, 09:32:31 am

Hi !

Need a used power steering rack for Renault Espace. 1996. Automatic. 2 litre. Petrol. Steering on right of car, same as UK.

Any manuals to help us work on it also ?

Hope someone can help, or may know someone else who sells used parts.
Thanks
Len

Haynes Espace manual describes it in reasonable detail.

Have you considered an exchange rack?

I'd be worried about putting on a used one because the Espace rack has quite a hard life and it is unlikely you could check a used one before fitting it.

Hi Will,

Thanks for replying.  Really showing my ignorance now probably - what is an 'exchange rack' ?

Thanks  :-[

It's not (as one might think) a shelf that one installs for sharing bits and pieces between auto hobbyists ;)

It's a professionally rebuilt and tested steering rack.

Oh, thanks Anders, the exchange rack would be best then.  Thanks for the information.  I've learnt something today.  :)
