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 :shock:

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.Image

A different intermediate steering shaft is also required, or so I've been lead to believe.
