    Easy tiger... whats with the shouting? Anyway, you didn't get any joy from your thread here?:- http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=246836 did you ping FBB? Steering rack failure is pretty rare... so probably not the sort of job that has been done loads of times.... you are sure it isn't play in the column right? seen this way more often than rack failure... play in the knuckles and where the column goes through the bulkhead, leaves you with a little lateral play at the wheel that you can't adjust out at the rack.... just a thought..... and contrary to what you may think, an awful lot of the owners here DO work on their cars... alot... and go to a great deal of trouble to document and share the information learned here for the good of others, so I wouldn't jump to conclusions too early. Happy spannering and I hope you get your rack out easily - it went in, so it must come out.... oh and when you have got it out, post up some pics and a write up of how you did it for the benefit of anyone else than might have to do it in the future if you can :)

    You won't find any other place online with as many enthusiasts who wrench on their own cars as right here. I'm not sure how insulting them helps your cause. Ernie, who has worked on just about every part of a 348 except the steering rack, told you to get in touch with fatbillybob. Did you, and if so, did you give him time to respond before posting again?

    The WSM devotes one single page to the steering rack and doesn't include a diagram, and they don't typically require work on them so not much info is available. Attached below is a diagram from the parts manual. Good luck with your project, maybe you can be the first to post up a good how-to on 348 steering racks.
