Thanks for having me!

just bought a 2002 xk8 with 72k miles. Like new! Love this car. Big enough for my long legs. Needs a few things though.
There's a jiggle in the steering, especially when left front tire hits a bump. Tires are balanced and alignment has been done. Steering rack seems tight. Two different mechanics can find nothing wrong. Can anyone help? Also, convertible top mechanism seems really slow. Sometimes it gets stuck and the motor(pump?) whines. What's going on? Is it air or hydraulic? Do I need a new pump?
