Repairing a Corsa C steering rack without removing it from the car. Worn bush replacement.

The Corsa C had clunking steering when we bought it.
It had an advisory from its last MOT of a worn tie rod, but it was the rack that had worn. Specifically the shaft bush on the left hand side.
Here is how we replaced the bush without removing the steering rack from the car.
The GM part number for the kit is 93190161.

I have to warn you that I have no formal automotive training, and have just learned by breaking stuff. If you can learn anything from my mistakes then great, but you do so at your own risk!

You don’t believe how much frustration you have saved me. Cheers mate, big thanks!!

[@LarcsWorkshop]

No problems, thank you very much 👍.

Good job, I have the same problem in the same car. I just wanted to thank you and confirm that it is the same steering rack from a 2004 Corsa C 1.3cdti (which is my car model). Greetings and thanks for making it easy.

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks, I would imagine they are the same but couldn't say for sure. Sorry

Hello, Great video!!!! Can this also happen with a 06' Opel/Vauxhall Meriva A? Greetings from Germany

[@LarcsWorkshop]

@@georg_der_falsche3560 . Thanks, I don't know for sure but if it has the same/similar rack, then probably yes.

Nice job mine had 2 rivets top and bottom lucky they were easy to shear off

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks, sounds like there are some different versions of it then? Cheers Larcs 👍

[@michaeltootill2014]

Top job well done👍

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks 👍

[@mitchelldanegeer]

Thanks for the awesome video. My vehicle has exactly the same issue, so I will definitely need this kit. I live in South Africa and I'm not able to source one. Would you know the dimensions of the component as I would probably need to make one?

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks 👍. Sorry, it was a while ago and I don't know the measurements of the bush.

[@dowker66]

Good video, where did you get the replacement bush with circlip from, is it from Vauxhall only, or did you get it online.

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks, I thought it was a Vauxhall only part. I got mine from my local dealership. But searching online for GM part number 93190161, it looks like they might be available from places like Autodoc etc. Can't comment on their quality though?

[@mkito00]

very good job . Can you provide a part number for the repair kit? grateful

[@LarcsWorkshop]

The GM part number for the kit is 93190161. Sorry, I thought I'd put it in the video description, it's on there now. Thanks for the reminder. Cheers Larcs 👍

[@user-iz8qi8zu3p]

I have a Corsa D 2009 that makes some noise when steering, sounds like an old bed, the noise get louder as the car gets hotter, any ideas what it can be?

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Could be any number of things, check it's not rubbing on something as it goes through the bulkhead. Otherwise, get it up on axle stands and have someone wiggle it while you're underneath. Good luck sorting it out 🤞. Cheers Larcs 👍

[@orgenhalili6436]

Hello mate,what kind of noise did your car make??....In my car,i hear a clunking noise under my steering wheel but i am not sure if it is from the rack or something else.

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Mine was a clunking over uneven ground. Probably worth checking your drop links and track rod ends first. Good luck sorting it out 🤞.

[@frednetherlands887]

Good luck!

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks Fred 👍

[@willcarter2506]

Hi, Excellent video. Just a quick question...Is there one of those bushes on each side of the steering rack? potentially requiring 2 kits if play is present on the other side? Thanks!

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks, I think they only suffer wear at the end opposite the column because of the leverage it has.

[@willcarter2506]

Ok I,ll have a closer look on that side. Many Thanks!!!@@LarcsWorkshop

[@LarcsWorkshop]

@@willcarter2506 . No problems
