I found a guide how to set the preload on the steering rack. Take a look at this clip, start from 6 min.
https://youtu.be/9KUJOvYR23A I did this adjustment today without taking the steering rack of. You can feel if the movement is smooth with the wheels in the air and the engine of. It made a huge improvement to my steering issue
Thanks again, seems like a nice one.
So, did I get it right: to clean and lube the rack, you take the steering gear out of the car, and then you can just move the rack left and right inside the housing and clean and lube the visible part of the rack as you go? You don't have to take the steering gear apart more than just remove it from the car?
Also, for the preload adjustment, did you use the special tool mentioned in the video, or you can do it with a standard tool only?
