Steering problem

[motofaith]

I bought my car last year and everything was fine. Once i took my car out of storage about a month ago i noticed that when i turn the steering wheel it doesnt go back into the straight position instead i have to manualy straighten the wheel out. Some people say its the steering pump some people say its my rack and pinion. Any idea from u guys?

Try changing the PS fluid and see what happens. I have this happen to me when the temps go below -10 * C, the fluid gets thick and causes extra resistance.

Yes, check to make sure the fluid didnt leak out while in storage.

Sounds like it could also be a bushing problem, too. Is your pump making any whining sounds?
