Hey guys,
Have recently bought a new steering rack, fitted it and gotten the alignment to a point i'm happy with. The other day however, I did a tight U-turn, and after doing so, the steering was shocking! To turn left was fine, but it took around 1/4 turn of a clockwise rotation to have any response when turning right. I've done a bit of inspecting and in that loose part of the rotation (turning right) it seems only my left wheel is responding and my right wheel is staying straight.... Any suggestions?

sounds like the rack is missing some teeth further down - definately pull it out & have a look by removing one of the rubber boots
