I have went on vacation for a week and came back to find my car not working so well. I couldnt turn my steering wheel much. I filled my steering fluid up and that didnt help. I took it to a shop and they found that the rack-and-pinion steering system had seized on me because fluid leaked out. So I had them replace the rack-and-pinion. It was better at steering but now when I am at a red light it car idles real rough. If I let go of the brake to move a little, it stops. I do hear some rattling when it does that. It sounds like its coming from the underside center of the engine. Also, when I cruise any where between 35-45 it does the same shaking. Please help. I am trying to make it one more year with this car and then get a new one, so I dont want to spend to much on this. Hope this will not be a costly repair.
