Hi all,

This has probably been covered before, but due to me being on my phone, I can't find it.

How do I know if my steering is variable or non variable? I own a 01 vx ss series2.
I'm having trouble with my front end, when I turn corners sounds like there is scrubbing, driving straight sounds like a constant wereing noise, gets worse the faster I go.
So I'm going to replace the steering rack first, new boots and arms around well. Tires still have full tread and in good condition, mags are perfect, not buckled or anything. Noises are doing my head in lol.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers all

Variable speed steering is more of a Calais /Statesman thing. You can check to see if there is a electrical connector on the rack, if so then it is variable. There should also be a fuse for it I should imagine.

My understanding is that variable power steering is only used on Calais and Stateman/Caprice long wheelbase models.
