Weird Steering

[smcqueen89]

ok guys

well since i got the car about 6 months ago my steering was very heavy.... it would stick ito place so if i was to turn right it would stat right even where i let go of the steering wheel.. kinda like of like the racing games that you can play at the pub.

when i went to the mechanic he noticed it when bring it for a drive and he says it is my suspention because it is real low i dont think this is the case though..

anyway over the last week i have notices that is i move the sterring where like 3 cm right and left there is play in it and it will not move the car even wen im goin like 100ks..

also when i am going slow or not moving at al if i sudenly jerk the steering wheel to the right or left lightly ( it doesnt have to be a hard jerk) it will have a kind of a "crunk" sound

i have thought maybe the power steering pump but it seems a bit more then that..

does anyone have any ideas what it could beor has this kind of thing happened before to any one?????

and plz can you try to make it has simple as possible as i am not very mechanical minded lol

Sounds like you have a problem, i wouldnt like to hear a "crunk" sound coming from my car.

I'd suggest getting it checked by a professional tyre place & suspension place. I find that it helps to get a second opinion sometimes too if your not happy with what they tell you.

good luck

start from basics. check ur ps fluid condition. flush the system properly and see what happen. let us know.

i am also interested as my 33 feels slow to come back round, although maybe its just how the cars designed?

well i talked to some one at the drags today with a r33 and he told me that his steering comes strait around again..... i do not no if i am just paranoyed now but the steering dosnt feel very responsive ever like if i have to take a sharp conner qiuck i have to jerk it alot harder then i should to get the same result i think i should be getting ... i took it to a tyre place todays he told me it wasnt wheel alinment that i thought it might off been so i think its time to the mechenic and over pricing lol
