I didn't know you had to top-up new steering racks. Perhaps I should have
RTFM'd! Will a low oil level explain the slight movement I noticed in my
steering column this weekend? The movement was along the length of the
column not a rotation about the rack or a rattle. If not then I guess
that nut and bolt at the bottom of the column has gotten loose. Yes?
