Description
replaced rack and pinion and the steering wheel jumps back and forth when you try to turn it. It turns by itself one way when you touch it and bounces back and forth

Explanation & Answer

Hi,
When you replaced the rack and pinion, did you mark the proper orientation of the pinion shaft and made sure that it is positioned properly e.g. 12 o clock? Were the rack secured properly or bolted properly on the cross member? Another scenario that can cause this problem is a worn out pinion gear .
