soft steering response help! hey guys ever since i installed my new rack and pinion I've been having real soft steering. the rack and pinion is used from another lt1 car and i bought it from a trans am junkyard here in Miami. its kinda annoying so is there anyway to adjust it so that i can be a bit stiffer? I've compared it with some of my friends cars and its allot softer then theirs. hell even the v6 ones are stiffer. the reason i replaced my old one is because it would make a weird noise when making right turns. my car is a 97 WS.6 with umi road race k member and full energy suspension front bushing kit. my friends say its the tie rods but i really don't understand how blown tie rods would make your steering super soft. please help and thank you for reading.

Did yo check them first? Just jack the front up and with your hands at 3 and 9 o'clock try to wiggle the wheel left and right. If you get any play then replace....but since its a junkyard unit for the price i would do it anyway. And im pretty sure autozones duralast ends are rebuilt moogs and they will save you 20 bucks a side.
