Default Re: Steering Rack Replacement Questions

hi Guys,
found the problem, checked the tension on the drivers side cross member bolt , which was loose. Looks like the bolt snapped close to the cross member and needs to be replaced. I can only gather some monkey swung off it last during a wheel alignment or someone hit the gutter hard when driving it.

I've seen a few posts here on loose cross member steering rack bolts for AUI's that were welded by FORD in the past. Has anyone had to replace the bolt on an AUIII and is it a easy job?
The cross member bolt I can't see a head on it to fit a socket at the front of the cross member - so I'm gathering it'll be a devil of a job.

Getting the rack out of the way - seems to be the easy part/job now.

cheers in advance.
