You after a rack for a 2.8i or is it a 4cyl standard rack and pinion? 4cyl steering is pretty cheap to replace and a motor factors near me can still get em new, my last one only cost me about 30 odd quid from what I can remember, thats supplying a rack in exchange

Maybe worth checking track ball joint ends before you go to far as they tend to wear before the rack.

ok cheers for the advice guys,iv not had a look at it yet but iv noticed the steering only shudders when going around a left hand bend,the sharper the bend the worse it is,what problem would that point towards
