Re: Steering Rack
I have a 2.1 rack, is a 2.5 one actually different, or just the track rods?

Re: Steering Rack
Track rods and track rod ends are larger but interchangable.
Only restriction is each rod and end must be the same.

Re: Steering Rack
How long has this been going on? Did the symptoms appear all of a sudden, or was it something that started small and then gradually became worse? Has any work been carried out on the hydraulic system?

Re: Steering Rack
Air in the hydraulic fluid can produce stiff and notchy steering, and lack of smooth power assistance.
Might be worth checking this out.
After driving the car for a short while (or running the engine and moving the steering wheel) dip a sample of LHM from the reservoir with a small clear container. Fluid should not contain bubbles, even microscopic ones.

Re: Steering Rack
Yes, that's something I have experienced and had in mind when asking my questions.Air in the hydraulic fluid can produce stiff and notchy steering, and lack of smooth power assistance.
