Some other parts arrived, mainly the inner and outer steering tie-rods with boots, but also two new brake hoses and the swaybar bushings. Oh, and a bottle of CHF202 for my power steering.
While trying to sort out the power steering side, I did assemble the rack such that it is now protected (from dust, debris etc etc) before it'll be mounted back. Yes, I will need to crimp the rack side still.
The tie-rods are a lot stiffer, as expected. No play on the old ones, but the difference with the new ones is huge. These are firm.
