Steering rack?
Hi everyone,
I have rebuilt nearly the entire front suspension and replaced the tires all the way around, and there is still one problem bothering me. The car feels like its floating and I constantly have to add minor adjustments in order for it to go straight, already had two alignments done by MB in the past few months. There are is also a snapping sound at slow speeds when pulling out of a parking spot or making a u-turn. Given that I have pretty much rebuilt the entire front end suspension, I can only assume that this is caused by a steering rack. A new one runs close to $1200 online, a "rebuilt" one is a little south of $400. Should I just replace this as well, or do you think this problem may be caused by something else?
