i just replaced my rack and pinion with one from the junk yard. im not sure what year it was but it was from a newer model than mine(92). but anyway now that i changed it my steering wheel moves on its own.. when i start to turn the wheel in either direction it starts the shake back and forth and is really hard to turn because whatever way i try 2 turn the wheel pulls the oposite direction and starts to shake.. i have no clue whats goin on.. i thought it could be the solenoid since it was from a newer sc so i swaped it with the one from the old rack and i still have the same problem any ideas on what can be the problem??

will try to get up a video of what its doin later today

^wow.......can honestly say that i've never seen that happen before....I'll ask some of the other mechanics at work after lunch if they've seen any similar problems in the past.

 

Rack bushing maybe !!!

 

LMFAO!!!!!! sorry man that just looks so funny i have no idea what that could be

 

Hahahaha - That was funny to watch. What was wrong with the old rack?

 

Your lines are backwards, reverse them and all will be well. If you havent busted the seals with all that shaking.

 

LOL funniest SC vid ever...yea don't know what that could be, other than your SC going mental

 

will try that and see what happends

 

anymore ideas??

 

I'm sorry I can't help u but that was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. That is crazy. Exorcism?

 

lmao. that video just cracks me up for some reason. especially after the comment below. lol

 

Bro my car was doing the same thing after the 2j swap. Your lines from the steering pump to the rack need to swapped around, it will go away. Then bleed the system well.

 

before i change anything should the pressure hose be on the top or bottom?

 

I've seen that before.
