Hi,


I have a 2008 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2i 16v. Cat D repaired got it last week. Took it to halfords (which i know was a dumb mistake) who replaced a worn wheel beering and told me the steering rack is bent because i took it in at first because when you turn to the right full lock, it turn more then it should do and the tyre scrapes inside.

They quoted me 400 quid, which to me is too much.

Now my question is do i just need the rack replaced or does there need to be any reprogramming of some sort done which someone was telling me.

Thanks

Not an expert on the subject matter but a quick google shows that on some cars the steering sensors have to be calibrated. This is possibly what the person means by programming. This would be done with a scan tool or similar, and I'd imagine would be quoted as part of the job. The corsa has electric power steering so I'd assume this would be required. Phone a vauxhall dealer if you're not sure.
