After I replaced the steering rack in my '97 Cabrio project car, I felt that the steering was over-boosted. It wasn't \"loose\", but the steering effort was so light that it didn't feel very solid. I googled around for an afternoon looking for ways to reduce the boost from the power steering pump. After getting the bubbles out of the system by turning the steering wheel full lock left and right in the driveway a few times and topping up the reservoir, I was happy to find that the steering felt much better. Not too hard at slow speed, and not too easy at high speed.
Pros: steering felt much better
Cons: steering was over-boosted

I have had a few cars and will tell you that i have seen trw in 8v and 16v cars, it could be based on produciton time and date, they are not interchangable, the steering shaft connects differently on the racks
Cons: not interchangable

btw...yours is a trw rack its easy...took me an hour, bent mine. Disconnect knuckle....crawl under there after removing rubber boot. The nut on the tie rod where it connectes to the steering rack is a 33mm nut. be very careful so you don't bend the rack but just loosen that up and take off....do reverse to put the new in and adjust to bentley specs. Don't forget the loc-tite on the threads though! I didn't need any special tools...just the box wrench from Sears. Works like a champ....doesn't pull and didn't need an alignment
Pros: easy, works like a champ
Cons: be very careful

Cons: loose feeling at highway speeds

I replaced the rack in my car. the newer rack, Trw I belive has a quicker ratio than the factory unit. On the inside of the steering wheel it says you should be able to turn the wheel 6? full turns from left to right. The new rack requires only 4 or 5.
Pros: quicker ratio
