Ok so I did a full superstrut conversion on my 94 Celica. EVERYTHING was replaced including the subframe(s), sway bars, spindles, brakes ect... I even installed a steering rack from a LHD German ST205.
Here is my problem. The steering count lock to lock is inconsistant and the car turns sharper to the left than the right. MUCH sharper. Ever stranger is if I center the wheel with a centered rack, it will turn 1 turn and 45 degrees more each way from center both ways (if the car is jacked up). If you put it on the ground it doesn't want to turn as far to the right (about one turn from center). If I start the car with power assist it will barely turn 3/4 a turn from center!!! It stocps and locks like it hits a brick wall, like normal. you can here the pump struggle and everything. If you kill the car right there, it will turn about a quarter turn more. So I "centered the rack and wheel with the car running at 1 turn each way. 2 turns lock to lock. When I took it to get aligned, it didn't have enough adjustment to center the tires with the rack/wheel centered like it was. Even odder was while on the alignment rack it was able to turn the full amount like it was jacked up. So I recentered the wheel at 1 turn and 45 degrees each way.. aligned it and BAM! I leave and it only turns 3/4 to the right again!! Im so puzzled. I think this rack is messed up somehow. HELP PLEASE!!! Thanks, Brian |
