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)

Yeah, those missing pics are going to hurt me. I'm positive this is my prob. If i'm at higher RPMs in the rain, the car is pulled violently by a puddle or standing water. A LOT worse than my previous Laser, so I knew something was up, and this is making sense with all the other symptoms i've been seeing.
Justin, the car's been running pretty well. Had to seal up an oil leak on the filter housing  That was fun. The front clip is off right now getting some 'glass on those trouble spots because that epoxy broke apart. It's got a bunch of minor woes, but when we get a house and a garage, a lot of that will change  .
