with both front wheels off the ground with a friend pushing and holding one wheel, i could feel the other side was tight, same for the other, but if i pushed the one side in and out, the other wheel moved with it, yet the steering wheel was not moving a one bit. all slop inside the rack. and boy oh boy was it pulling hard. like into the next lane.
Old post, but this made me want to reply.

Recently the TQ steer in my car had been really bad. I've always had it and know what it but it's come to point where I can't even control it. If I get on it from a roll it will immediately go right and I correct it and the try to over corrected and so on. I look like I'm driving drunk...lol

Now I'm not sure if this is related but when I take off from a stop I feel my whole motor/trans move back. Then when coming to stop it will move again. Also hear a loud screech noise at the time when this happens. For sure something metal on metal is rubbing.
I really haven't had time to fool with, so just seeing if anybody had any ideas. I do plan on jacking it up tomorrow to see if anythings lose.


Control arms, struts, strut mounts, outer tie rods etc are pretty new. I mean there YEARS old but I only drive my car a couple 1000 miles a year.

I really hope it has nothing to do with the rack or axles. That's pretty much the only thing I haven't changed and not to knowledgeable on changing.
I first thought it was the rack at first because my steering had been pretty hard to steer for a long time but I'm really don't know.

Thanks
