I noticed about a week ago that my alignment was out. The steering wheel was not centered. But then a couple of days later, I began to notice that the direction I would have to hold the wheel in is not always the same. Depending on the lean of the road and the direction I last turned in, sometimes I would have to hold the steering wheel slightly pointing left in order to go straight, and other times, I would have to hold it to the right.

I guess "hold" isn't even really the word I'm looking for. There is barely any resistance.

What's going on with my Lexus?

 

i had this happen the p/s pump leaked into the rack & pinion rubber seals that hold it in place and it moves left or right trust me its gonna get worse and dangerous get a rebuilt one at autozone and get lifetime warranty its like $250

 

Thanks for the reply dude, I will definitely look into it. Any idea how much typically for installation?

 

You need to replace the steering rack bushings.

There is a thread here. Search for "Steering Rack bushings" w/ member name "D1GP". You'll find the thread w/ pics to do it yourself.
