Default Rack and pinion

you may have damaged your rack in the car,try raising it up and turn back and forth to full rotation and see what happens.

Back when I have my v6 firebird, I did the same thing in a field...pretty drunk. I swapped out 3 rack and pinions... turns out it was the pump. Change that and see if it works.

i did the exact same thing. it was the power steering pump. they are actually a pretty shitty design from what i have expierenced. changed 2 of them in the last 40,000 miles. this one seems to be holding up well so far. guess it is kinda hit or miss
