sounds like you need a new rack and pinion

yeap only answer and u were right rack and pinion junk yard 70part installation 50 i might try to do it does anyone know how hard it is?
 






it's not that hard but time consuming.there are a few threads on the forum explaining how to do it.

if you have someone that will install it for $50 that sounds like a good deal.it took me all day to change mine.the one specialty tool that you will need is an inner tie rod removal tool.i was able to get one from advance auto as a loaner.
