    Default steering rack said to be worn out

    my VL wobbles sometimes on fast curves and now a mechanic friend says the steering rack is worn out, even though the overall milage isnt all that much, and that air hose between both sides of the rack is still in place

    the power steering works perfectly, does this sound like a worn out rack?

    the steering specialist should have told you what the real problem is if he inspected the vehicle on a hoist.
    would have taken him 2 mins to work it out.
    Nobody wants to play with me

    Question VR Rack end needs replacing.

    Need to replace rack end on VR. Is there a step by step I can look at? Should I undo the rack end before the tie rod?
    Cheers fellas.
