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 .
