I'm having this really wierd problem when I'm steering through longer turns (on-ramps, etc.). It's like the steering hits a "dead spot", and the wheel turns an inch or so with no effect on steering. The feeling is similar to a knee buckling when you put weight on it. I know that's a weird anology, but it's the best I've got.
The car has been aligned, the outer tie rod ends are new, and has a 1" lowering kit on it. I can't be sure if it's a PS problem, or a suspension component, but any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. -------------------- QUOTE (gsxracer80 @ Oct 31 2006, 12:41 AM)

I would assert that your rack has a worn spot on it, where the pinion is not holding. Or vice-versa. If the tie-rod ends are new, and everything looks to be in order, it (if you describe it accurately) has to be in the gear itself.
