I am after a new steering rack as the refurb rack i put on my s1 is shite!
where can i get one from?
tried local motor factors and they stock delco remi or ap lockhead ones but not sure what the quality is?
also is there a place that sells a quick rack instead?
thanks

i noticed there was a bit sharper response when turning..also smooth turning aswell as the old one was notchy..steering feels lighter aswell but got new suspension, bushes and tyres so couldnt just say the rack improved that alone
