[928uk] Steering Rack Bushes

[Paul]

My Cerbera's rack is mounted directly to the chassis, and there is plenty
of vibration and 'shock' transmission

That is not what I wanted in the 928, however the 928 has a rubber isolator
in the steering column

I had to replace the isolator in a Capri I owned many years ago because it
became very soft indeed

Has anyone had to replace the 928 isolator?
