I've been hearing this clunk when ever I turn the wheels for a while now. So now that I have the tranny off I can see the rack fully. I can see that the rack is moving and hitting the frame when ever I push on the tierod. From what I see there are 2 u clamps holdong the rack to the car. The driver side clamp has a bushing under it but the passanger sied doesn't have anything betwen it and the rack. So I called the dealor and he told me that only the driver side is supposed to have the bushing. So I can't fugure out why the rack is so loose! Could it be possable that I have the wrong bracket on the passanger side? What else holds the steering rack in place? I would like to fix this before I out the tranny back on.

MB501119 The dealer would have had to look at the part #'s for the rack replacement pieces to find the part #. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.ecanfix.com/~mdhamilton/images/captures/vince.jpg) [This message has been edited by Michael Hamilton (edited July 25, 2001).]

As I have said in the past...Mike H knows everything about the DSM ![[Linked Image]](http://www.ca.dsm.org/non-cgi/biggrin.gif) Thanks, I ordered the part and it should be in on friday. Now how am I going to get that bushing on there. Do you think if I make a slit on the top of it and slide it up it will work? Or will that effect the function of the bushing? And I still can't get theat parts program to work. I installed it on my harddrive but It still gives me an error ![[Linked Image]](http://www.ca.dsm.org/non-cgi/frown.gif) ------------------ 91 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 13.98 @ 100.24mph Chirped Neutral.....oh wait that was my timing belt breaking.
