Default Rack and pinion

How do you know when your rack and pinon or power steering is going bad?

Can you just repkace the $20 bushing?

Do you have to take the whole unit out to do that?

How do you know if it is power steering?

1.) How do you know when your rack and pinon or power steering is going bad?

2.) Can you just repkace the $20 bushing?

3.) Do you have to take the whole unit out to do that?

4.) How do you know if it is power steering?
1.) When it gets hard to steer. Often this will happen when you first start it up. This is refered to as "morning sickness". In my case, with "defered" maintenance, my morning sickness turned into, all day sickness.

2.) What bushing?

3.) See no. 2.

4.) If it is a C4, it's power steering.

RACE ON!!!
