Hi folks,

About 6 months ago, I replaced my rack and pinion steering and power steering pump and outer tie rod bushings (moog kit).
Now last night when I go to make a right turn it is very difficult and then halfway through the turn it suddenly
becomes easy.
I never replace the outer tie rod like I should have 6 months ago.
I will update this with some pictures tomorrow morning.
But in the meantime what do you thinking about it may be being the outer tie rods? Or?

Thanks in advance if you can help me I appreciate it!.

Good morning,

Did you do the tests I suggested with your previous posts?

It sounds like the rack itself is causing this issue.
