Need to replace the steering rack on a 1.3 CDTi corsa C (05). Anyone any idea where is the best place for one, either new or reconditioned?

Cheers

It's got a bit of play, mot coming up and reckoned it would have failed on it. Is it easy to replace the arms as a rack looks to only be £100

I think its easier to change just the ends if that's where the play is.

Is it knocking? Done the ends on the rak and it still knocked and ended up wrecking that rack a few thousand miles later , change the rack and save the hassle m8
