Is it possible to fit track rods without removing steering

Post by Stirls »

Hi, Is it possible to fit track tie rods without removing the steering box, it is a power steering box so trying to avoid removing it, the manual says remove the steering box.
Thanks Stirl.

I have done it on a non PAS version without removing the steering rack so would think you can with a PAS version but you know what they say about assumption. :lol:

Yes same here... Can't see why removing the rack would help? But I've never even seen a power steering rack, so..
