hi guys, about a week ago i just got my rack and pinion rebuilt, now i noticed that my steering wheel is heavier and there is more play that does nothing when moving the steering wheel to about the 8 and 4 position, which makes steering sort of difficult when the car is slowly roll. Feels almost like i have no power steering Could this be a rack and pinion problem? or the alignment done after putting the rack and pinion back on? Overtorqued rack and pinion? thx for the help guys. i want to fix this issue but i dont know what to do first, alignment or rack and pinion issue. i do notice that in the morning my car squeals like the P.S belt is loose?
