Big Problem Need Some Help Please!
I have a question for the masses that have lowered there car. Has anyone ever experienced any steering trouble after doing so? After I lowered my car I've been experiencing a sometimes hard to turn right when i'm at a stand still never when i'm in motion. Left works great, but when turning it to the right it feels like your parked to close to the curb and your wheel has no room to move but of course i'm nowhere near a curb any ideas?

Everything checks out, so I'm wondering if the angle in which the tie rods were at stock height, as opposed to where they are now has anything to do with the binding feed back I get when turning to the left? Its just really weird because it was fine until almost a week after I slammed (lowered) the car. And why only turning to the right? Tie rods have a pretty wide range of motion, so I'm stumped you guys I hope its not the rack itself. I'm thinking if it was the rack it would do it steering both ways right?

You could definitely be on to something, as long as the other things turn out to be a no go, but thanks for chiming in on the matter.

Here is another very serious possibility. You need to check both lower ball joints. Now that your lower, the ball joints are @ different angle & if the boots have been busted for a while then they might be trying to pop the ball joint out of the socket. This happened to me. I heard the driver side squeeling. So I lubed it with some motorcycle chain lube & the sound went away. Knowing that I needed to change out the control arm cause you cant get just the ball joint. I kinda forgot about it, cause the noise went away. Well a few days before the major disaster my steering would get real tight turning to the right. About 1/4 the way before full lock to the right. I thought the rack was going out. 2 days later, lucky i had just pulled out of my driveway & was going slow, the lower ball joint came out & the car fell on the tire. If I had been going MACH5 like I usually drive, it would have been a major accident. So please check the lower ball joints in the front.
