Strut bearings are new and ball joints have been checked. Really hoping this solves my problems as I don’t think I have another car job in me for at least a few weeks. Rack has done me in.

Rack job is not funny indeed. Yes I mean the valve inside the rack itself. On mine there is no speed sensitive - it was a nice option but rare besides the R and XC90 I think. While there, this sensor also goes bad causing a heavy steering and can be replaced.

Finally got around to replacing my faulty thermostat. I felt pretty stupid for putting it off for so long. I think it took me longer to find the right size torx bit than it did to replace the part. Maybe now the engine will actually reach operating temperature this winter.

Got this super cheap battery switch installed... fits only on the negative pole but kind of works so can't complain. No longer have to grab the wrench to undo the cable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMT1RdnkxnY
And then discovered yet another area that's leaking water inside the car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAbA8ZBOARg

Interestingly, I've noticed one scenario where the speed sensitive function lets me down. If I'm headed down a stretch at high speed and then slow down with moderate force ,if I immediately try to engage in a turn it still feels stiff even though I'm going very slowly. This happens momentarily and then the steering is nice and smooth. I wonder if the valve you refer to is showing early signs of failure...time will tell.

Loosened the top mount bolt and re-tightened it with the engine running - much less vibration coming into the cab now. Surprised at the difference.
