    hey guys. what are the symptoms of a bad GM power steering rack. Because i cannot turn my car to the left. i was perfect, the i wanted to change out the passenger side strut mount because it was popping. we did that and now i cant turn the [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]wheel[/COLOR][/COLOR] to the left i feels like something is binding up and stopping it. when it binds up, i turn the [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]wheel[/COLOR][/COLOR] more and it seems to "let it go" and turn. if im going on a road rolling it hardly does it, if im between standing still and braking is when it does it most.

    MY car and info:
    2000 Grand Prix SE
    3.1 motor
    138,000 miles.
    4 wheel bearings
    2 outer tie rods

    has a bad lower control arm front horizontal bushing on that drivers side.
    Both strut are bad.

    I have no leaks under the car
    the car does not sway side to side
    there are no metal shavings in power steering resevoir.
    and the wheel returns to about center without a problem. thanks.

    That sounds like a steering shaft issue. If you can, jack the car up and pop the wheel of on that side and have someone else turn the wheels lock to lock and see if you can tell where it is binding at, if anywhere.
