Roland,
What kind of racks are these? The early Panteras (through the late 1970s)
used a British rack made by Cam Gears UK. The later cars used a different
rack, which was very similar, but internally different. I believe the last
racks were made by TRW. They are assembled differently, and are difficult to
service--but of course if they are new, they don't *need* service! (At least
not right away). I believe even the new racks use a plastic bushing on the
right side, which wears out in about 30,000 miles.
Please tell us more, and tell me if I am wrong about any of this?
Mike
