Hello there.. took off the steering rack today [well a friend of mine did] and told me that there was no grease in it, but Oil!
the whole system is kinda loose and im considering buying a replacement of the whole steering rack. The problem is that i dont know if i can source a Panda steering rack in Cyprus and i dont know if there is a direct fit from other FIAT cars like UNO or Y10 for example..
i did find one steering rack in ebay which can be delivered in Cyprus but its the long one 1050mm, and im using the 850mm one.
Is it possible to swap to the longer steering rack and change the components as well to fit the longer one? the tie rods etc are 12.5 instead of 1.5 that i currently have so in other words is it possible to fit the older steering rack 1050mm onto my 1989 4x4 999cc Panda with all the components?
anyone done this? moreover is there a reason i had oil in my steering rack instead of grease? :S
thanks! :idea:
