- vl berlina wagon 6cyl
with VL power steering, there should be 2 plastic plugs on the rack with a length of plastic tube joining them, this tube can shrink, pulling the tube off one end
this arrangement is to equalise air pressure, but the arrangement has no protection against bushbashing so is often missing, having been knocked off by hitting something. the 2 holes should be covered over, otherwise dirt gets in and eventually damages the rack, leading to expensive problems. the plugs are a push in fit and not available from holden, does anyone else have them?
the design of it seems very much an afterthought and surely it should have been armoured to protect it
the VL isnt a good car for bushbashing or offroad work, the front sticks a long way out from the front wheels, with the bottom of the radiator at risk of being hit
