Hi folks. On Friday my local VW dealership tested my =
beloved
Syncro and informed me that (among other things) my steering rack was =
completely
worn out. I queried this at the garage, saying that I was surprised, =
because the
positive and sharp action of the steering was something Id always liked =
about
the bus.They replied that the rack and pinion itself was worn out , but =
in an up
and down direction, not side to side. Does this ring true? I have to =
admit that
Im quite suspicious, especially since I checked for play in the =
steering by
hand after the test and could find no slack. Any thoughts on this ùp =
and
down`slack and how to check it myself would be very much
appreciated. Dave Perry 87
