rwallican Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I had a complete power steering system replacement done on my 96 ls about a month ago. Afterwards, I noticed a steering wheel vibration at 50-60 mph. The dealer had noted that I needed new strut rods, motor and tranny mounts, and rear knuckle bushings. Had my indie do all that work a couple of weeks ago. I had the tires rotated and balanced today thinking that may be the problem (I never had a vibrating wheel problem prior to the remanned rack). The tires are balanced perfectly. Is this a possible symptom of a bad remanned rack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime a power steering rack is replaced, you have to have an alignment done. If your alignment is off - you will definitely get some vibration. I would check your alignment first or have someone else (not the person who did the steering rack work-in case they don't admit it was wrong in the first place) check it. Hope this helps...

rwallican Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Alignment and tire balance are both "perfect". Had the tires check again this morning. I think this warrants another trip back to the dealership so they can check out that rack. Like I said, I never had this problem before it was put on. Any other thoughts on this?
