I need to replace my steering rackon my TR6. Is a rebuilt, new stock or a quick ratio the best way to go? I am refurbishing the car for a nice daily driver. Any feedback on this would be great. Thanks

The ball joints under the boots are loose. if you push/pull at the tie rod ends there is a lot of play coming at that point. The car was bought as project and knew this was coming.

You DON'T want a quick ratio steering rack. These are good for autocross only. Really scary at highway speeds.

If you plan to keep the car a long time I would be tempted to get a new unit, but they are quite expensive. Make sure its not JUST the tie rod ends that are worn, also make sure the rack isn't moving in its mounts.
For extra precision in steering you can put on a solid rack mount, best one side only or you get too much feedback from bumps. Simon.

Hello TR6,
if it is loosness in the knuckle joints, it is worth checking if they can be reset as they are often shimmed on initial installation. If the tube bushes are worn, then it is probably worth getting a replacement. I would have no qualms about using a reconditioned unit.
Incidentally I have my rack totally solid mounted (aluminium clamps) and would recommend them, just don't bump kerbs.
