stiff steering

[just vaux trev]

bought a 2.0 8v nova dropped 60mm (shocks and springs)
and well after bringing it back 25mile ish my arms couldnt take it anymore
and its putting me off driving it i know it gonna be stiffer dropped but
not like this, not really interested in power steering (help !)
how can i solve it?

Are the tyres inflated enough?

Jack the front end up and see if its still stiff.

Is the tracking OK?

My GSi was always really heavy on the steering, even when dropped -25mm compared to a mates -60mm XE.

When I removed my rack for the restoration, it was really stiff & notchy to turn. I think the rack was past it tbh.

I've got power steering now, not used it yet.

Get a new/recon rack.

Aye, sounds like the racks fooked.
Lack of grease etc.
