to piggy back on a what's wrong with my power steering thread,
anyone have a clue what's wrong with mine?
If i turn the wheel a lot to the right (a full rotation) after straightening my steering wheel , it tries to go right (if you let go of the wheel it turns a bit to the right) and there's a constant "tug" trying to turn the steering wheel.
If i then turn a full rotation left, after i straighten my wheel , it tries go to left.
Usually this happened in parking lots , and once the steering Wants to go a certain direction that pull seems to stay until the next time i can turn the steering wheel a lot to the other direction. so if i cause it directly be hopping on the freeway i'm stuck with it for a while.
It happens during rallies, and it sucks.
My car was doing this on the old rack (original 93 FWD steering rack) we switched to a remanufacturered RS steering rack mid season this year, but the problem is unchanged.
My power steering lines
Are currently leaking . I'm on a 99 RS 2.5 power steering pump which does not make any noises..
could leaking lines be causing my problem?
has anyone ever heard of that problem? I was thinking it was my old steering rack (which was also leaking pretty bad) but we've changed racks ...
