Alfa Romeo is a quintessentially Italian carmaker known for the style and elegance of its sporty vehicles. In a 2008 episode of Top Gear, Hammond, Clarkson and May set out to prove that you can't be a proper petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa. The brand's iconic status also stretches beyond the small screen, with its cars appearing in a slew of blockbusters, including The Godfather, The Graduate, Octopussy and The Talented Mr Ripley.
At the 2022 Autocar Awards, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio was named a future classic, earning praise for being "sublime to drive and beautiful to look at" - a statement that perfectly captures the spirit of the brand.
Alfa Romeo's 147 hatchback, in production between 2000 and 2010, was designed to rival the perennially popular VW Golf and Ford Focus. It has four configurations - Ducati Corse, Base, Lusso and Turismo - and, according to Alfa, the GTA version can do 0-62 mph in 6.3 seconds. In 2005, the 147 won the European Touring Car Cup with driver Lorenzo Falessi, and it also achieved two consecutive wins at the Italian Superturismo Championship in 2003 and 2004.
Rack and pinion steering relies on a gear set to convert the turning movement of the steering wheel into the motion required to turn the wheels. When this system is combined with power steering, the configuration changes slightly to include a cylinder with a piston in the middle.
Check out this guide for a detailed explanation of how your a car's steering system works.
The three top reasons for a steering rack repair or replacement are cracked rubber lines and hoses, loose connections, and failed seals between the steering column and rack and pinion.
Common signs of a problem include:
- Leaking power steering fluid
- Loose or inconsistent steering
- Vibrating steering wheel
- Wheels not returning to the centre
- Instability on the motorway
