soooo guys, when i diagnosed it came out to be the transmiter. i ended up getting a whole rack. i tried to take the easy way and just replaced it (transmitter). in doing so when taking off the tie rod boot, nasty corroted water came out. probably gonna take the rack out because its not to difficult. BUT, ive been hearing that i need to take it to the dealer to get re-calibrated. anyone ever been through this? Damn eps...any imput would be greatly appreciated thanks.
