Hmmm.... I must admit i would feel concearned if this was my car. I cant answer or help on this tonight for you. I will check with some contacts tomorrow for you and post another reply from work for you with news if someone else doesnt jump in and answer it for you. But if anyone out there can help zzf001 then please join in the conversation

citronut:
did the old tyres show any sign of wear,if so then its probably the inner track rod joint,which is a ball and socket type joint,its not complicated to replace just hard to get onto it with any tools,they sudgest you replace the sping steel locking tab washer between it and the rack shaft
regards malcolm
zzf00l:
yes! noticeable wear on the inside edge particularly on the nearside tyre. Ok so I don't need to get a replacement rack? Dont fancy scrubbing my new tyres so i'll get it done ASAP. Thanks for the advice guys.
