Alright, trying to help out my brother with his 98' EX. He's had all new CV Axles, Power Steering Rack, Power Steering Belt, Skunk2 Control Arms, Brand New Tires and alignment done. When The car turns to the right, the whole steering column is stiff, rattles, and shakes the entire car, makes it very hard to steer. There isn't a problem when turning left though. Anyhow, when he had his H&R Race Springs and Shocks put on, the guy said one of his motor mounts was almost completely undone, so he tightened it for him. I don't know if he checked the others or not, so would it be a possible motor mount/bushing problem, wheel bearings, or something else we're looking over? So much stuff has been replaced it's getting really expensive, and still the same problem exists! Thanks

with all those parts put on...they all new? or used? check bushings on the control arms itself...wheel bearing would cause a whinning noise and feel rough or get louder turning it a certain way...kinda hard to say considering all that stuff was done already but yeah checking all the mounts wouldn't hurt too i guess

I guess people are now suggesting tie rods or something, which are only $25 for a pair. Everything else has been replaced, so might as well

didnt the new rack come with tie rod ends? That'd suck if it didnt....but oh well...yeah if the rods are bad, it'll cause it to do all sorts of weird things...
