the K&N is nothing to do with the power steering, wheel bearings etc. It may void your warranty on the engine, but not the steering.

In this case you're right the K&N has nothing to do with the problem. However, as it is a simple job to change it back then it may be worth doing anyways. The trouble is that some dealers WILL make notes of anything that could potentially cause problems in the future, and should anything occur later on down the line then they can flag this up.

Yep but I can either get my paws on a rack for £100 or squeeze Ford for a goodwill gesture.

Bradders - done & done

car went in today, and suprise suprise something is wrong with the steering pump, I knew this before as AA had flagged this. However all they did today was confirm the steering pump needed replacing and couldn't do it today. Have had to rebook car in for the 6th of May for 2 days so they can strip the engine and rectify the problem. GRR

lol Gotta love the dealership I went to who tried to claim they'd never heard of an ST needing a PAS pump. Well mine went in & the steering rack looks absolutely bob on but what they have done is lubed up all the pins and joints. The creak has gone but I'm almost expecting it to come back.
