Hi folks. On Friday my local VW dealership tested my beloved Syncro and informed me that (among other things) my steering rack was completely worn out. I queried this at the garage, saying that I was surprised, because the positive and sharp action of the steering was something Id always liked about the bus.They replied that the rack and pinion itself was worn out , but in an up and down direction, not side to side. Does this ring true? I have to admit that Im quite suspicious, especially since I checked for  play in the steering by hand after the test and could find no slack. Any thoughts on this �p and down`slack and how to check it myself would be very much appreciated.     Dave Perry 87 Syncro
