torque steer and bump steer with manual rack vs power steering rack
I wonder if torque steer and bump steer will feel the same with a manual rack because it is manual and it has a different ratio or will it feel the same as with power steering?

Not completely. That is what I tought that it would not feel the same. What I want to know is will torque steer and bump steer be worse with a manual rack?

Bump steer should be and feel identical.
Torque steer is a bit more complicated, and can have many factors, but it too should be and feel very similar as none of the direct causes are steering-ratio dependent. To be more technical, the overlapping tread style of torque steer will be identical, but the jacking steering inputs produced by a sub-optimal scrub radius will feel different behind the wheel, being more pronounced with a slower rack ratio.

I've had both racks in my NX. The only difference that I felt was when turning when stopped was a pain on the manual. Everything else was the same while moving on both racks. I've even had a bump steer kit on and off of both.
