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'm not sure about it being a worn spot. I tried out Spy's idea today, and I took all my turns fast as usual, but in a higher gear to drop the RPMs. Sure enough, the steering didn't buckle once. I'm going to try again at high RPM to see if this holds true.
Spy, what needs to be done to disable this? I'm assuming that it has something to do with the rack because you can't "disengage" the pump. -------------------- QUOTE (gsxracer80 @ Oct 31 2006, 12:41 AM)
