Well the new (remanufactured) rack is in. Its not a cheap job, 7.5 hours labour!
I have to say I made a mistake! I ordered a non-servotronic rack on purpose, but I forgot how those feel. I have been driving around with a non-working servotronic rack for years and really liked the heavier steering at slower speeds which made the steering feel more precise in my opinion and gave the car a lot of character. It felt like a big car. It felt more sporty.
Now the new rack is in the steering feels so light! I dont like it at all.
I may have to swap a remanufactured servotronic rack back in when I have time/money to blow
