Hey guys i need help!!!! Ok its kinda hard to explane the steering is really sloppy and really easy to turn. I have no power steering and it seems to be easier then power steering when im driving, like when i hit a bump or any crack in the road it wants to pull to that bump or crack, and it feels really loose in the rear like it wants to kick out i need help i cant find out what it is. outter tie rods and balljounts are new and inners arent you think it could be the inner tie rods. PLEASE HELP

 

We need to know a little more about your setup. What kind of mods have you done to the suspension? I've heard of poly bushings making the rear end twitchy over bumps. If your lowered, did you get an alignment? That too will make the car twitchy.

Loose steering can be atributed to a mall-adjusted steering tensioner. Look up steering in your helms manual. In that section you should find "steering effort check" & "steering gearbox adjustment". These will probably help you fix that problem.

If there is rattling within the steering gearbox, you should look at your inner tie rods (#1), steering gearbox adjustment (#4), and inner rack end bushing (#10).

Followed by a "steering gearbox adjustment"...

 

The steering gear adjustment will that make the steering wheel harder 2 turn its really easy right now i dont like it will it tighten that up alittle and ya ima get the omni power system and do the gear adjustment and get a alignment and see what happens thanx guys ill let ya kno what happens

 

i noticed that nobody mention that tires have a big effect on weather or not the car will pull to a crack or bump in the road. some of the tread patters have more of a natural tendancy to do that and others dont. i have the nitto neogens in a 225/45zr17 and they do pull into cracks and bumps in the road. just somthing to think about

It can make it tighter or looser. That is what it adjusts...

 

Hey it might be that your struts are blown, you told me that one night at hwy both tthe front ones were shot. If they are blown they could be ******* up the holy front end
