Titan Steering Rack refurb.

[Peter G]

I have play in my steering rack, and Ive read the archive threads on this topic. I've now got the Caterham repair kit, but it doesn't include the nylon bushes that could be the culprit. Can anyone confirm if the Titan Elise rack bush will definitely, 100% fit the Caterham rack? I'm aware of the arrangements with Titan/Caterham, and I dont feel like paying an arm and a leg for a new rack when a few more quids worth of parts could do the job.

TIA

I called Titan for some advise when fitting my wide track tie rod arms, they were very helpful and should tell you if the part is the same.

The Elise rack rebuild kit has everything you need, I've just done mine.

The only thing that doesn't fit are the rubber boots. Caterham rack has uneven sized boots and the Elise is equal. Replacements are readily available thankfully.

Thanks chaps, just the answer I was after. Tried to reply to this from Android phone, wouldn't do it.

just wanted to add some info from Titan on the lubes (I did refurb my rack today and could not find any info in the web so I called them)

rod end to ball joint: Rocol Sapphire high pressure

Pinion and the rest: Castrol speerol EPL2

An update on lubrication from Titan, the current advice is to use a good Molybdenum grease for the track rods onto the rack ends and Castrol Spheerol EPL2 for the rack itself, the original Spheerol MPT2 is now no longer available it seems. I ordered the Spheerol from Opie oils using the clubs helpful but modest discount.
