Hello, Yes it has a speed sensitive rack, Steering light whilst going slow and gets heavier as the car speeds up. there's a there's a connector under the car near the rack, and a module in the glove box compartment........... Here (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/steering/ServotronModule.pdf)

Is your speedo working ok Dave?

If the VSS is giving an intermittent reading it will affect the rack (and the radio volume if you have that function)
