i had my power steering rack replaced with a reco unit yesterday when i got the car back the steering feels alot heavier than it did before
is their any differences between racks/certain type that fit on my car
2002 VX S Pac series 2
Thanks
and i had my front caster bushes replaced at the same time (nolathane adjustable) would this make steering feel heavier
i know the calais has a different rack but for your car im not sure
A new or reconditioned rack will be tighter than an old worn one, but the power assistance would nullify any extra steering effort. I assume you would have had a wheel alignment carried out, so check with the installer to find out what work was carried out and see if you can get them to re-check the settings. Also, check front tyre pressures, they shouldn't have been altered but it's worth checking them anyway.
