mornin all

hope you all had a gr8 extended jubille weekend

no down to business, ive had a wooly feeling to my steering since buying the van bout a year ago, renewed the track rod ends, roll bar bushes, new tyres with correct pressure, but i,m still getting a vague response from the steering, when travelling straight, i can move the steering wheel a good few inches either way, with no response, very dissconcerting

could the rack be shot

any input as always, will be gratefully recieved

thanx gazulu...
