how do u get rid of the loose steering?]
i got a 90 crx with a gsr swap, at high speeds the steering is just too loose its like the car is going to go out of control.

how can i get it to be like my eg hatch?

 

COuld be the personnality of the car.

Can also be a loose rack - check and tighten rack bolts.
or shoty steering component... - inspect steering components for slack.

can also be a shot steering knuckle... Bolts to the rack... Check for wear.

Perform a visual inspection of all the steering components.
Lower ball joint's, check them first.
Then take a look at the rack.

 

mine is loose feeling as well... i also need to do these checks.

 

what about a steering wheel that shimmy's back and forth while braking? (slow shimmy, low speed braking)

 

that sounds like warped rotors

 

whole suspection check out
no loose tie rods,upper or lower ball joint.
but i notice the upper control arm is forward.
im thinking the caster is too negative(or am i backward-but its to forward.)

 

if the knuckle is tilted toward the front of the car, your caster is negative, which could contribute to the wandering, which means something is bent. also check alignment, toe out will make the car unstable at higher speeds. check for the loose steering wheel nut, check the steering column and the u-joints, a loose bolt there will give the whole assembly too much free play.
that should help.

alignment is a real biggie. also maybe the bushings in the front suspension are all used up like a *****. you might wanna visit Energy Suspensions website and pick up the master set for your car for good stuff.

 

thanks 4 all the info guys
im going to do more checking tonite

 

ok
i ve check and double check all the joints rack-n-pion,ball joints
and its still loose.
the other thing is i even swap out the donuts to street slicks with 205/50 15

even with the car at a stand still it is easy to steer the wheel
what the hell!!!
why is the steering so easy to turn?

 

Any looseness in the steering? Or is it just easy to turn?

Most probably then a shot rack and pinion...

it not loose as in too much play
it just too easy to turn.i want or need it to be tigh like my eg hatch im afraid it ll go out of control

 

Check the tire pressure, i traded some tires with my friend and the steering was loose as hell, felt like i had power steering, scary *** hell on the freeway. When i went to check the tire pressure it was at 65 and 70 psi on the front.

I b!tched at my friend i think he was trying to kill me.... But my sterring is still pretty loose on the highway.

 

i wish its something that simple
but i did that already

the thing is even if the car is at a stand still
it is easy to turn
