Re: Nathan's BA4 3rd Gen
How long a job is it supposed to be to change the rack I can't imagine it being too difficult if you could use a ramp somewhere

Bummer dude.
Only the steering rack that's the biggie really though. And look at it this way; once the steering rack is changed, you'll have precise steering, new coilovers, fresh tracking, & a nice reliable car for some time to come.
Not to mention the difference it will make to steering & handling once it's all been done! It will be like a new car.
How much are you anticipating it all costing? Cos you might as well get him to do everything while he's got it apart.

Re: Nathan's BA4 3rd Gen
Yeah I've got no issues changing the upper arms or fitting the coilovers. (Though ebay don't sell rear upper arms so I'm stumped there!
).
Dave has said swapping the rack ain't going to be cheap, and he gives me cheap mate's rates. He's also said he's going to asked a mate who still works for Honda, who I used to know through mountain biking to give him a price for fitting a rack and doing the alignment at the same time, so I should find out tomorrow how much it'll cost
And front Ratty
