mom'sZ Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Hello everyone I have a 280Z, manufacture date 6/77. It has stock L28. The steering has about a quarter of a turn of slack. Getting ready to rebuild entire suspension. Have searched this site and the internet. Does anyone know where to purchase new or rebuilt steering rack?

COZY Z COLE Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I got mine thru a local auto parts store and while you're at it replace your bushing at the same time if you can..IMHO. LARRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here comes trouble Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 If the rack just has "slack".... you maybe able to adjust..... adjacent to the steering shaft pinion box is a large adjust screw for a spade screw driver with a big retaining lock nut.... loosen the lock nut with front wheels off the ground and tighten the adjusting screw and then back off about a 1/4 turn and check for slack........ then fine adjust and observe ....there are shims to adjust pinion rotary torque if steering becomes difficult but that is complicated and my require a manual and special measuring devics.... basically you are adusting the steering like a front wheel bearing and you do not want the adjusting nut too tight but with enough free play to operate the steering easily with a minimum of slack.
