how to tell if my car has magnasteer or not.

Post by ircentaur »

When I bought my 2001 Bonneville, one of the clamps that holds the rack and pinion in place was broken. I can't complain, the seller thought it was the CV joint. Anyway, I'm going to replace the rack and pinion unit, but can't tell if I have magnasteer or not. How can I tell.
