    It is a mechanical link regardless if you have power steering or not. The steering coulpling to the rack connects at the pinion shaft of the rack. The pinion gear is engaged to the rack and the rack to the tie rod ends. The assist that the power steering provides helps to push the rack in addition to your own force. Removing the power steering belt and fluid will not help. I suspect you need a good 4 wheel alignment done by a reliable shop. After that put your steering wheel on straight once the car is pointed straignt.

    i just test drove mine everytime i put the wheel back on let the car drive straight and see how much the wheel is off by. Then try the next tooth and test drive it again until it's straight.

    Re: steering wheel

    since the time i had my steering rack replaced my steering wheel was never strait until i did an alignment myself on it. but you'll need an alignment machine. that was my solution because i wasnt able to get it straitened out with whatever position i would place it in.
