when i turn my steering wheel about 2 inches to the left or right my steering wheel moves but my wheels dont. I took it to my local mechanic and he says that the rack and pinion bushings need to be replaced... i dont know if he is right or not..do you guys know what could cause this and how i could go about fixing it


THanks!!

 

could be check it urself... they are easy to replace

 

2 inches is alot, but also check your ball joints. happened to me like that (but I only had about 1 inch of play) and I assumed it was the rack. put your front on jacks and grab ther wheels and wiggle them. If they have alot of play then its a good chance your ball joints are just worn right out.

 

Inner/outer tie rods, ball joints, steering rack.

 

plus van!

 

def rack n pinion bushing...but DO check control arms, inner/outter tire rods ball joints..axel...all suspension....i know im repeating..but the more you hear it the more you'll get it lmaoz good luck and be careful driving
