    Rack end bushing

    Hi All.

    I checked the rack end and tire rod seems to be tight. i even tried shaking the tires left to right and doesnt hear hany sound.

    When i removed the wheel on the driver side and tried to shake the tire rod, i can feel from the rod the something inside is knocking or loose.

    Ive been hearing a knock or thumping sound on uneven road for a few mins then goes off after a few mins of driving.

    Im not sure if this ia the same as mine or if this is the fix. Has anyone encountered this?

    I saw that video a while back. I've never noticed play in that bushing but have had a couple inner tie rods wear out.
