    Yeah i'd agree with every1 else and say its the steering rack...the fluid level may look right on the outside of clear white cylinder thing but inside if u poor steering fluid into it, it will just swallow it up. It'll cost about $400 to get fixed.

    Has the problem been solved? If not I suggest we keep ON topic, If so, this might as well be locked before the thread degenerates any further.........

    besideds you fine rack (jack the VL up and turn the steering left to right with the engine off to see if any aiir is present in the system turning the rack will purge any air in the system. drive car 4 five k,s and test again if more air is present test return pipe 4 leaks ie clamp return see if it leaks)while turning the steering.
    Research has shown that men usually sleep on the right side of the bed.
    Even in our sleep we happen to be right.
