Ok here's the deal, I bent my control arm and ruined my cv boot about a month ago. I was in the same situation as aMaff, our incidents were a week apart. Now I went to a salvage yard to purchase the parts and I managed to install them myself. All there was left to do was get it pulled and aligned. I was told that my caster was off aswell as having positive camber. This was corrected but after I got the car back the steering felt a little sticky. Now what damage if any could there have been to the rack? I am pretty sure that is the problem. Do you think it was over extended? I'm thinking about picking up another rack and pinion setup from a junkyard but I was gonna try and see there is anything I could do without having to resort to that. It really takes the fun out of driving this car.
