Ricosan and Richard III, suggest you check the steering rack if you have issues following replacing damper blades with steering bearings. There have been several reports of over lively steering after such and some have then resorted to keeping the damper blades or in at least one case fitting an external damper without checking steering rack first, whether it be Jack Knight or later Quaife. Such damping then masks the problem in the steering rack itself so it makes sense to check at source first.

Rather than repeating the exercise suggest checking out this thread noting that rack adjustment alone may not cure the issue if the plastic yoke is seized redering the spring loading on rack itself ineffective, and summed up by DaveW's post here. In my own case I didn't have clicking (except from normal indicator cancelling mechanism) just very light steering so it was more of an investigation, finding the plastic yoke on the verge of sticking. End result was a more damped and calmer (less lively) steering experience over bumps.

Tracking can then be checked later if felt necessary.
