What's in the workshop this week?

[MikkiJayne]

I took the steering rack out this morning, before cleaning the engine bay. Turns out it is servotronic which explains the light steering I thought it was the first time I drove it, but couldn't see it on the build sheet so concluded the mayo in the system had done something odd. Obviously it was behaving as it should all along so instead of replacing it I took all the pipework off and thoroughly flushed it with new fluid until it stopped coming out creamy.



Cleaned and re-greased the rack, as the boot had split on this end so the grease was a bit nasty



New boots, clips and tie rods ready to go back together









Proper boot clips crimped with the proper tool. No cable ties here!



New rod end on



Ready to go back on the car
