Just remember to orientate the adjusment bolts in the same direction to get the thrust angle right , people have been failing on that

Small update. . .

Got access to this today.....
Image

.... and managed to get on with some welding with a lil help.....

Subframe repaired and reinforced:

Had to cut the bottom reinforcements to access the back

Image

Image

Then new plates welded in...

Image


The top had to be filled in....

Image

Image

Image

and then smoothed...

Image

Finally the uter ones were welded back on ...

Image


Then we did the ARB mount holes:

I mounted the reinforcements and secured them with a 10mm bolt:

Image

Then welded all around and smoothed the welds (should look much better after paint):

Image

Image

The otherside was much worse as i had to remove some of the rusted area:

Image

I am debating if i should leave it as it is or close it. As far as I know this holes only act as drains so it may be better to have them slightly larger.

What do you guys think?

Should be getting blasted again tomorrow and then painted.:-)

Some small progress.....

Steering rack was taken completely apart .....

Image

and parts painted and cleaned....

Image
Image
Image

New seals replaced.....
Image

And started putting it back....

I am still trying to find new bearings for it but seems like even the dealer can not find them.
The bearings are the ones circled in the below pic (altough the one I really want to replace is No.57
Image

Worst case scenario I will reuse the old ones but if you guys know a part number or where to get new ones please let me know!
