the rack on my ef8 is loose feeling.with the steering wheel in lock position and holding the steering wheel to the right so it wont move. i had someone move the wheel left and right and the wheel moves quite a bit.i replaced the tie rods already and there not loose its moving inside the rack i think. its a power steering rack but im not running the p/s. the line is looped. so when i drive it and hold the wheel to the right a little bit the car is smooth.when i turn to the left its all loose and feels real bad. yes it needs to be aligned. any ideas fellas? |

check wheel bearings, check inner tie rod ends. ur rack might be old enough that u can make some adjustment. check for fluid leaking out into the inner tie rod boots. SS |
