Hi Jason,
Yes, it is the same part. CCI were saying that they only had limited stocks of the new pattern part and they were selling fast.They are discontinuing that line due to difficulties with the manufacturers, if I remember rightly.

That’s good it’s just I had a new steering rack and my steering feels fine but when I drove the other week the steering sort of stayed in the direction I was going for a few seconds I guess it’s me as going from power steering then the Capri your mind plays tricks . Like when you have new Tyres you fell the camber of the road more .

Check the spring tops are centred as well as your storing rack
