    Default best way to check steering rack

    car is driving all over the road, especially gravel roads, was bad with standard rims, now it has hsv 17's its really bad, checked tie and balls, seems good, shockers are good, so im thinking its the rack, it is leaking a little oil out of one broken boot

    As you have changed the size of your wheels you will need a wheel alignment.
    They will check all components and tell you what is wrong and in need of repair.

    Easy enuff to replace your self. Exchange rack 180, some beer, ramps/stands and some time.

    Not overly hard. Just use a tape for a ruff alingnment, then take it to the tyre shop imediatly for a proper alignment. easy as, just did one my self.
