>Turing the wheel without the van actually rolling and full lock encounters >put huge strains on the rack seals. Years ago, my new 5 year old stepdaughter would love to hop in the van (parked in the garage) and "pretend" she was driving, grabbing the steering wheel and rocking back & forth... Ouch! A few months later my seals were leaking and major groaning from the power steering (about 500 miles from home). Not designed for such abuse I guess. Rich '85 GL San Diego |
