Some time ago I stripped my steering rack to fit new seals and boots but since then the steering has gone from nice and light to a heavier feel, still giving assistance but heavier. Any Ideas?

Definitely still working but not as light as it was.

All comments by me should be taken in the right sprite, Jack Daniels is fine.

Missed this. :o:
Just a thought, do you have the correct fluid in ?
I had to top up big style the e46 fluid and I had a new container of ATF from the e30 but I noticed it was much thicker than the stuff he has put in now.

Mart.
Only the E46 cab left now.
Just got too old.
