Okay so I recently just got done installing a rebuilt 2000 Z3 steering rack(linear) and it is butter. If I wanted, it would only take one finger to turn the wheel. I also replaced my CA Bushings with Ertalon ones via Lencas Povilas(awesome), IE urethane steering coupling, replaced control arms, ball joints, tie rods, wheel bearings, oem sway links, and hubs. Power steering is obviously working since it is so easy to turn.
I am, however, concerned. I am getting little to no forced feedback from the steering wheel when making a turn. When I turn, it's almost like I have to push back to center. no clearance issues lock to lock. I get plenty of feedback from bumps, etc., but there's no 'whipback' or counter steer from the steering wheel on its own. at best it needs a little help. Is this standard with a linear rack or is there something else at play here?
