My car has a rattling noise. Honda says it is the r/s inner rack bushing. I also need rear trailing arm bushings and my outer tie rod ends are bad. They say I only need to replace the power steering rack? Do You think all should be done together? Can the rack just be loose?

Hi there,

If the rack is loose it will take a mechanic just a few min to tighten it up, if the rack bushes are worn, i would get this done and the other items in one go as it will be cheaper in the long term and it will give you a safer car to drive.
