Chambers Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Just currently tidying up my steering Rack and I've come across a hole in what seems to be the outer tube at the opposite end to the steering knuckle fitting. It has a little plastic plug which just seems to be pushed in but nothing to really hold it there. I'm just wondering, what is the hole, how do I make sure the plug stays in place and what do I have to do with it for maintenance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Jones Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 It's an "anti-rattle button" and would normally be under the rubber mounting bush which holds it in place. If you've swapped to solid mounts then it will be left exposed (and usually escapes pretty much immediately) so needs to be held in place with a a jubilee clip and some rubber wrap (cut section of hose will do it. No need to do it tight, just snug.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambers Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks for the heads up guys it's got alloy mounts going on so I'll make sure it's held in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byakk0 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Mine had some paper holding it in place. I used a little paper tape on reassembly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
