Steering Rack mounting ??

[Icanfixit]

I have a base 2001 Boxster. The steering rack is bolted directly to an aluminum cross member that is bolted directly to the bottom of the unibody. If you unbold this cross member the steering rack will hang loose by the power steering hoses and the steering column. Ball joints and rubber bussings on suspension components that are also connected to this crossmember are not replacable. The entire, wishbone, control arm or tierod must be replaced if they are worn. If they are worn or cracked, vibrations can be felt in the steering wheel. Check the outer tierod ball joints first.
