Another question is that the mechanic told me I can't just change the steering rack bushing

He have to send the whole rack away and get it rebuild. Is that true? I was hoping to get a new bushing for my steering rack like the above link one.

Thanks in advance for answering my questions.

Can't help with cost of rebuilding the calipers, with regards to the steering rack bushes. Get yourself a good manual, such as the MX-5 enthusiats guide by Rod Graniger. Great help for all things, including brake rebuilds, steering racks. The super pro bushes that FM are selling a made in Qld and available through many good suspension shops.

Where are you based, a local forum member might be able to assist you?

Not 100% sure on that. I will try and have a look at my manual a bit later today and see what I can find.

Is there a particular reason why you want to change the bushes on the rack. If you want to go the whole hog I would also suggest replacing all of the suspension bushes. Around 8-9 hours work if you have the tools.
