ok so i recently changed the oil in my gearbox and when i took the near side front tyre off i found some serious scrubbage on the inside edge. There is also marking on the end of the gearbox. Now i think this could be down to 2 things either the steering rack has been replaced with the wrong one ie a no 6 one or could this be down to worn suspension or tracking? what are your thoughts?

mark-house has attached the following image:

That was my first thought but considering the car only came out for a few weekends last year and so wasn't on full lock much would it really be this bad?

I do hate it when the wrong parts are fitted Most likely a dodgy garage tring to save a few bob

Parts yes, Labour no

If they were doing there job properly they would have seen that the wheel fouled the gearbox after fitting during testing and realised the ram was the wrong one. Most likely they did spot this but given that the garage would have had to incur the labour cost of removing the wrong one and replacing it with the right one they probably decided the scrubbage was minimal and thought they would chance it that the customer didnt spot it.

If this was at some point done by a garage there is no excuse for releasing it to the customer with the issue still in place, not even a 'we thought we had the right part' is good enough
