Hi Joyce,

I don't know if this is related, but just in case...

I found this in Eurodicautom - I'll have a look to see what else I can find.

I haven\'t got the English for it yet, but I\'ll look a bit more.

I think it may be \'coupling\' see this glossary.

Here they are talking about a \'steering flector\' but it may be a bad translation from French.

I have to change now the ***steering flector*** (a rubber piece that costs $3). Nothing else but normal wear elements like brake pads and tyres (that last around 85000 Km each). I have even the same belts the car had when I bought it.
