i drove it for a few weeks without power steering when i had the XE put in back in January. I got on ok with it, and to be honest, slightly preferred it. So wanna do it as a more permanent thing.

i suppose just drive it till the rack breaks..... it may be alright and never break....

and if it does break just replace it then...

theres no point in pulling the rack out at the moment cos it would a complete arse to do with your LET in the way.....

Like I've already said. I drove the car for a few weeks without power steering when the XE went in back in January, so know how it will drive.

All I want to know is how its going to effect my steering rack!
