So my suspension is stock except for ES tension rod bushings and front sway bar bushings. I still have the hicas and just installed new inner tie rods along with new ball joints, the outer rods were not bend so they were not replaced. New tires all around, balanced, same tire pressure too. 4 wheel alignment. Recently my steering has been pulling to the right at any and all speeds. Slight steering shaking noticeable from 50 and up. Most notable, turning to the left the steering is smooth, however when turning right the steering wheel seems to make small jumps that seem like no resistance. I can feel pressure then the steering wheel bumps a couple inches, pressure, bump a couple more inches, etc. The pressure i'm describing is normal power steering pressure, it's not excess, if anything it's weak. I plan to get under the car this weekend and poke around, but i'm not all too familiar with the steering/suspension components of my car. I recall in the past the steering rack boot on the passenger side was cracked apart and inside there was what looked like a rack seal intact but not pressed into the rack. I researched a bit and someone suggested PS fluid doesn't leak from there. But i need to address that as well. Should i be looking for bad ball joints, worn out bearings, are there tie rods up front like there are in the rear? Sitting at work staring at my car in the parking lot it looks like the wheel does not sit up straight, as if it has a slight angle outward, putting pressure on the inside of the tire. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, i'd like to fix this issue soon if possible. Thanks
Chris
