jeannie Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 So about four months ago I had got my steering pump replaced and also a rack and Pinion put into my car. Yesterday my car was driving just fine until I was trying to make a tight turn to the left then heard a pop noise I was able to park and go into work, of course worried about it the whole time. Then when I came out it was hard to turn my wheel to the right. But when I would turn it to the left it would make one pop sound then be fine turning to the left. I looked at my passenger-side CV boot turns out to have some dark green sludge on it. I haven't been able to put it up in the air yet to look to see if there's a hole. But would that cause the symptoms I just explain to you guys? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Yep. If you can replace the boot and keep the axle if you can. Aftermarket axles are a 50/50 at best. I have been through 3 on my left front. When my right boot leaked, I replaced the boots with OEM boots and grease. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashwinearl Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 from a past post: Duralast 7336 (60-7355) part, not the 60-7336. The Duralast has gotten good reviews here. If it gives you a problem, take it back and get a replacement. 806735230 = oil seal, right or passenger side 806735240 = oil seal, left or driver side 806975010 = o-ring ( both sides same ) for boot: Beck/Arnley aftermarket one from Rockauto.com.

jeannie Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 I took my car to the shop today got my cv boot and axle fixed but my steering is still bad. Now I don't know what to do. I guess I will take it back to the shop I got my rack and pinion done at. I have had nothing but troubles with this car and the steering Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08SpecB_DE Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 It could be a few things but it sounds like your steering shaft u joints are bad or something in the rack broke and is causing the steering wheel to bind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
