hard steering

[eds95gt]

my 95 coupe recently started having problems steering, its gotten really hard to steer to the right but steers just fine to the left, its manual steering from factory.i checked to see if it was rubbing, its nearly slammed and 16s n tires usually rub but that aint the problem. i lifted car took wheels off and tried turning but and still having the same issue.....

have you looked to see if you have worn or binding tie rods?

Check your inner tie rods. Jack the car up and straighten your wheels out. If you can shake the wheel/s, you have bad inner tie rods.

Make sure that steering wheel is locked once the car is in the air otherwise your just turning the wheels, also make sure that the "wiggle" that your getting isnt from your wheel bearing lol that would suck just as much.

also if you have to replace any of your rods, IMO it would be worth it to also spend a few extra bucks and replace your steering rack bushings too.

also just saw this post, if you end up having to replace the rack and pinion, go ahead and just get the quick ratio steering rack. its not much more then a new stock one and will give you some added turning

check your tire pressure,then check your tie rods, my civicdid the same thing and i changed the tie rods now i can take corners with no problem, and steering is like brand new....... JUST REMEMBER TO GO GET YOUR CAR ALIGNED AFTER INSTALLING THEM
