RE: [DML] Steering rack replacement

Hi Knut

I'm curious - did you try removing a couple of adjustment shims to tighten
your old rack before deciding on a replacement? It's not a procedure that's
widely known, and it's not in the manual. If you take off the small cover
over the pinion, there are three or four adjustment shims which push it
down onto the rack more as they're removed.

FYI, the Tie rod ends (called Track rod ends here) are identical to those
off a Triumph herald, and are available, on-line from the following site,
in $US for $14.43 each. International shipping available.

I had a chance to replace my steering rack over the holidays and I 
thought I would share my experience with you in the event some of you 
are considering the same procedure.
