Default Major steering problem. Please help.

I have had this steering problem for quite some time now. THe steering feels like it has slack in it, like I move the wheel and nothing happens. feels very light and drifty, like the steering needs more resistance, the wheel seems to move on its own also. I know my shocks and tires are total crap , but I dont think that is the problem, it seems like its comming from my steering, I had the rack adjusted once, ive had 2 alighnments recently. Anyone that can help me please do. I have to get some new tires anyways, so Ill se if that helps, I will try some S-03's

Check your wheel bearings. Jack up your car and wiggle the each wheel and see if there is any play.

How do you grease a sealed bearing that is pressed into the knuckle, then has the hub pressed into that? Last I looked the only grease fitting in the front end of a Honda was the steering rack on a 1978 Accord LX.

More and more im thinking its my caster. I read about the caster, and it sounds like the exact problem I am having. Im *thinking* about putting my stock springs back on my car, I dont know though, that would look SOOO ghetto.
