Problems with Steering...HELP!!!!!!!!
Hey Guys and Gals,
I Just replaced my Power Steering Adjuster that broke in half. I checked the reservoir and found it dry as a bone. I refilled the reservoir and drove it around, Whew.....my arms were killing me trying to get the car out of parking spots, but now it feels smooth. The problem I am having for the last few days is a vibration at any speed while going straight. I also noticed that my steering wheel does not center itself. When I turn to the left or right, the wheel will not re center till I am driving straight for awhile. I lifted the car and checked the wheels and noticed that my right front wheel wiggles a little when I apply pressure. My drivers side Wheel feels solid. could the wheel bearings be causing the problems I am having? Or is something else causing the problems?.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA....Joel

Sounds to me like a loose tie rod or worn tie rod ball joint. Also you should check to make sure the linkage from the steering rod to the rack is tight.
