I have read few other topics but have no answers to my question! My old steering rack gave me really light steering and it was bent so I changed it, the steering is still stupidly light it feels dangerous to drive! Any help! Tyre pressure is as it should be and not over inflated

How long are your steering arms? How big is the steering wheel?

Steering arms? If you mean the part where the track rod end connects to well it would be standard! My steering wheel is 13" I believe. But the steering is stupidly light and quite unresponsive

Can you try to get us some good overall photos of the suspension?

Just the general arrangement with a wheel off would be a good place to start.

Too low a castor angle would give steering that is easier to move from centre and has less self centering effect (car more inclined to wonder in a straight line). Your car anything like that?
