Dan and Oliver (sorry for resend Oliver, used wrong email for list earlier)

And not meant to start another tire thread!  At least until Friday ;-)

It’s an 87, 2wd westy.  16” wheels with 215/60/16 tires.  New upper and lower bushings last year.  Tire pressure up front is 5 less than rear, but cannot recall exact number here at work (but in correct range)

It’s a tough question, loose being a relative term… 

How does one evaluate the steering rack?

Thanks!

Doug
