Anyone know if the arms are replaceable?
If the whole rack does have to be replaced, what's involved. At some time I've got to replace the 18mm swaybar also.
The inner and outer tie rods are individually replaceable ... replacing the steering rack is a considerable job for DIY ... I've watched my mechanic do mine and even in my prime I wouldn't want to try it.
