steering rack

[billythefish]

I think that my 1984 Renault 4 GTL steering rack has come to the end of the road, the track rod ends are Okay with no play in them but when I turn the steering to the right there is a slight crunching noise, I don't suppose that these can be refurbished.
So if anyone out there has a good second hand one please let me know.

You can dismantle the rack fairly easily. I don't know what would make that noise but you can open it and see.
If you do need a replacement, I have a spare. It needs one track rod end and the passenger side bushings changing. I have the bushings to go with it too.

Thanks for that,
I will try and dismantle it some time this week.
Does the actual small steering drive shaft that goes inside the rack to control the movement, the one that couples from the rack to the bottom of the steering column removable or fixed to the rack.
thanks billy
PS If I can't fix it I would be interested in the spare one you have for sale.
