I was turning into a parking lot a couple days ago and my car died. Now it seems like my steering is a lot stiffer. Not sure if it started after that but it is defintely stiffer. Also, when i wiggle the steering wheel i get a little clicking noise. Any ideas?

 

check ur steering fluid. If its full, your pump may be going out on you. Maybe you need to have someone flush the system, my car dies occasionally...like once every six months....when im turning, but from what ive heard thats pretty normal once in awhile.

 

I checked the fluid and it was full.

 

Today I was in a drive through and my wheels were straight but the steering wheel was tilted about 45 degrees to the left. Ive never had that much dead steering.

It also pulls pretty hard sometimes when im on the brake.

 

wheel doesn't return to center after turns very well either.

 

out of alignment

if rack is original its probably worn out

 

Ok i heard someone tell me it might be the rack so i guess ill start with that. Where can i get one online?

 

should i just get the stock replacement?

 

did you bother to check if the belt is slipping ?

 

yeah it's definately not slipping.
