WHS ^^^ I've heard that if you use the non pas knuckle (hole further forward) the steering is too light and 'twitchy'
Funnily enough the 14" Syncro uses the same part for both

Thanks , looks available new. Any idea where it goes , petrol one is near the alternator welded to the back panel( seems the same syncro or not ) , non syncro diesel is next to the diesel filter , the part number you gave me looks to go near the engine mount on the back panel ?

My 2.1 has it here. Don't know if any other vans have it placed differently.

A different intermediate steering shaft is also required, or so I've been lead to believe.
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?

And the power steering UJ is needed for the steering box to rack shaft
