There were a large number of failures of these racks in the UK on both road=
and competition cars. For MOSS to say that there was only one is simply un=
true.<br>
<br>
I personally had TWO failures of brand new racks about 18 months apart. Bot=
h of these failures involved the pinion housing separating from the rack tu=
be at high speed in very dangerous circumstances.<br>
<br>
I would NOT recommend the use of a MOSS rack to anyone, whether for road or=
competition use because the manufacturing quality is poor and the material=
quality is similarly inadequate. The information that I was given at a mee=
ting face to face with MOSS in london have me the impression that some test=
ing had been done, but the solution to the problem really had not been foun=
d (ie do the job properly).<br>
<br>
I now use a custom made rack which has a single piece pinion housing and ra=
ck tube made from billet aluminium. These are being made in the UK. I will =
never use a steering rack supplied by MOSS again.<br>
<br>
