Default Bad Rack Symptoms

Everything on my front end is replaced, except for the rack and upper control arms---I still have a slight wheel vibration between 65-80 m.p.h.---anything before or after the car is tight. Which of those 2 would u suggest replacing first, to stop this shaking?---the rack and upper arms have 180k on them, everthing else replaced and new tires that are balanced. Help cause I do a alot of highway traveling @75 mph, and it makes my car feel like a piece of ****. oh yeah I was also thinking motor mounts since they are original???

You said everything is new, I know. Does that include tie rods? Cuz that will cause that problem.

Mine did about the same thing sept it started at about 45mph.... I replaced the whole brake assembly with integra's which I had been meaning to do....well I knew it was the wheel bearing so this killed two birds with one stone... I would suggest the same.

Default Re: Bad Rack Symptoms (forward_motion_crx)

Since this is a topic about the rack I also have a couple of questions. My car pulls very hard to the right and then sometimes to the left, but more to the right, and also the whees vibrate when i go over bumps. Now I am about to replace inner/outer tie rods, bushings, and boot on rack. Will any of these problems stop once this is done, or is it something else?
