can you explain the noise more accurately. Does it happen only when you turn, pot holes etc etc, type of sound

 

 

before buying new parts that may not be required as the diagnosis could be something else. Not heard of a steering rack going on a zed

Hi and :welcome: to the forum.

 

Many components on the 350Z steering and suspension can cause knocks, the most common are bushes or ball joints and in particular the compression arm bushes.

 

Steering racks have been known to fail but I think that I have only sold 7 in around 6 years.

 

Best to get a second opinion on your issues and if you require any of the above parts then just give me shout as I have them all in stock (including steering racks and rack ends) and all good to go same/next day :thumbs:

 

Alex. :)

hi guys thanks for the advice i had the car up on mot ramps which shakes the car there is no obvious bit broken on the suspension but if you held on to the rack you could fell it knockin,it goes the hole time when you are driving on ruffer roads like i have up here.had quotes for a second hand rack but not sure what to do they can give 90 day warranty and the car its coming from had 19000 mikes on it what do you think.

You ought to get an independent ZED specialist to check out just what it is first. If you post up the area where are based (most put it their avatars) we can point you in the right direction and may well save you money on buying what turns out to be un-needed parts ;)
