Default Help steering issue

Hey guys! 05 997.1 having an issues with the car pulling. It’s very weird if I make a right U turn or left U turn it would pull that way after with the steering wheel off at 1(right) or 11(left). Sometime after a u turn every thing straighten out itself . Bad steering rack?

Loose rack to body mounting, or maybe really bad tie rod end(s). I doubt it's actually the rack and pinion but I've been wrong before.

Whatever it is you need to get that looked at pronto, as it sounds very dangerous.

Thanks for the reply. I did change out my tie rod ends. Inner felt good & no leaks. I will check the rack to body mounting tmw.

Have someone move the wheel back and forth a bit repeatedly while you look under the car. You will likely see something moving that shouldn't be (or not moving that should be).

I'm not sure if it'll be easier to find with the car running or no, may want to try both.
