Upgraded Steering Rack Clamp Kit - Holden Colorado 7 (11/2012-08/2016)

This R&R steering rack clamp is designed to suit Holden Holden Colorado 7 (11/2012-08/2016)

These Clamps offer a huge increase in Strength over the original parts that are notorious for failing.

Note: These clamps are designed for Offroad use only.
Although they have been tested and used on many vehicles without failure over 5 years, they are not ADR approved.

The passenger side (original) standard steering rack support is only a loose fit bush style which allows the rack to pivot from the RH side rack mounting bolts. This can occur during wheel lift, wheel tuck, and also hitting a rut in dirt, sand or mud.
In these circumstances it does not take much for the pivot movement on the passenger side to put pressure on the weak spot where the join is on the steering rack, causing it to crack, split and separate.
After the steering rack separates there is the high possibility with the rack movement that the high pressure oil line will split and power-steering will be lost.

With the R&R steering rack clamp, it firmly clamps the LH side of the rack, which in combination with the drivers side vertical and horizontal mounts, keeps the steering rack inline and strengthens the whole steering rack support.

Make sure you check your drivers side bushes are in good condition regularly!
 If these get worn or have excessive movement, you run the risk of cracking the rack.
Both sides need to work together to keep the rack firm and help prevent excessive movement.

Note:

• The steering rack clamp does not suit electric power steering rack models.

• Fitting is recommended before a diff drop kit is fitted, due to limited accessibility clearance.

  If relocation diff drop is already fitted, you may need to remove spacers to fit top plate of clamp & then refit spacers.

Installation time:

• 20-40mins pending your experience using hand tools.
