turns out it wasnt my rack after all.only slight play in rack.jacked car up,wheels off, took off track rods off.o/s/f hub span freely turning left and right smooth too.but n/s/f solid so tight couldnt move it.a hammer and wd40 solve it for now.its turning left and right freely for now.spoke to a mate who works in renault and is quiet common for them to stick.guess what over 200 quid for a new one and reno part only!!!!
