electronic steering problem (wheels Stolen)
My wheels were stolen off my IS-F and the car was dropped on the ground landing on the front driver suspension. After that Ive been having issues with my steering wheel. On cold mornings it doesn't move at all(stuck in one position) maybe because of the cold? And while driving and turning the wheel the wheel gets stuck in the direction I turn until i pull it back to make the wheels straight.
So I went to Lexus they said I had some faulty codes on my steering ecu, and that the rack pinion and the steering Ecu needs to be replaced. Anyone ever had this type of issue with the steering wheel?
Thanks for the help in advance.
also let me know if anyone knows a mechanic in NJ that's good with IS-?

Sorry to hear, that truly sucks. Was it the stock wheels that were nicked, or aftermarket? The oem security nuts are so common that they're about useless.
As for your steering problem, I haven't had this issue, but would suggest you may want to take this opportunity to upgrade your ps ecu to one from a later model if your car is a 2010 or earlier since the units were changed to improve feel & response (would provide a link to the recent thread on this if I knew how).

I'd check he tie rods for bends as well. I've driven a car with a bent tie rod and it tracks into the turn instead of returning to center just like you're describing.I can't imagine they'd miss a bent tie rod though!
