Hi everyone.
I am going to replace my steering cable. It is a tele flex rack and pinion system. Should I be replacing my helm as well? I don't know if the rack and pinion wear into each other like a gear set would.
Thanks

It should be full of grease. I've never replaced the helm a part of a shift cable replacement. Once the cable is out check the helm of smooth operation

Ayuh,.... How 'bout as part of a steerin' cable replacement,..?? :D

When ya price out a replacement Cable, Vs: a complete helm, 'n cable Kit, the Kit is nearly the same price as Just the cable,....

Yes,.... Helms wear, they're just die-cast pot metal, 'n plastic,....
