    More bad news

    I just got my wheel bearings put in today. And i still have the problem. It is my steering box i believe. When ever i turn my car is a pain in the ass to turn and after i straitened out my wheels my steering wheel was upside down. What does this sound like steering box, steering arms, ect..... Thanks for the help because i have now spent 160 in wheel bearings, 50 to have them pressed, and 150 for axles. Thanks guys.

    not reallt sure if this will help, but also check the universal joint under the dash that connects the steering column to the rod going to the steering box. and you also might want to replace the tie rod ends....just my .02 though...good luck

    You may want to take a look at the Power steering resevoir and ensure its full. Also check the power steering belt and be sure its tight. The universal mentioned in the last post can cause binding in the steering too.

    No fluid flow will eat up the steering rack might be your problem all along.
