ZX Steering Rack

Post by artj »

I have a 1992 ZX 1.9D with power steering.There seems to be play between the rack and its housing on the left hand end of the steering gear.Is it possible to get the bush that the rack runs in?Also,if I need to replace the rack,would the rack from a power steering Peugeot 3o6 be a direct replacement?

I can't see that the 306 rack would fit. I also had a quick look on the microfiche and see various options for power ZX racks as well. You need a rack from a similar car, a ZX D or TD RHD with PAS is the only one that will fit. None of the Peugeot genuine numbers tally up with the ZX ones.
By the way, before you decide to change the rack, very carefully check that the play is not in fact in the lower steering column UJ. I recently had steering problems with my ZX and was convinced it was the rack, but we found that the lower UJ in the column was slack one way and stiff the other. Fitting a new lower column sorted this out.
Best check this first before you start looking for a rack.
