 K3 Steering Rack Can anybody tell me how to replace the steering rack on a K3, please? - do you have to drop the subframe?

Re: K3 Steering Rack Hi John, I am in the process of stripping the front off my K3 and looking at it I would think that if you disconnect the steering column at the bottom universal joint and then loosen the torque tube bolts at the subframe end, by then removing the bottom mount long bolts you should be able to tilt the subframe up at the front to give enough room to drop the rack out from the back having undone the 'U' bolts that hold it to the rear face of the subframe. Failing that you will have to remove the subframe.
Peter.

Re: K3 Steering Rack In fact, it involved dropping the whole subframe!

Re: K3 Steering Rack Sorry John, mine did fight back a little but I am replacing it with a tubular subframe that will give double wishbones with coilovers to replace the hydragas. A long way off yet.
