Read a few forums but it's not helping me. I just had mods installed and now my steering is getting stiffer by the day if I make a turn and let the wheel turn back it gets stuck and I have to force it back around ... Could it be just the fluid or are there other things that could have happened ?

have you checked your power steering fluid level? any strange noises from the engine bay? what mods did you install?

Check your power steering fluid, I lost a rack in a previous car when it lost the fluid and went dry.

Mine does the same thing.. When you turn the wheel doesn't really go back straight unless I help it a little.. I don't have any fluid leak, I'm thinking air got in somehow.. I will be interested in hearing what your mechanic says..

This is exactly what was wrong with my G when I first bought, all I did was get an alignment done, tighten sway bar end-links and it turns perfect now.

Ok so after 3 days of not having my baby they called me they changed the fluid, pump, got an alignment... nothing.... they just called and said its the Steering Coupling, there going to fix it shouldn't be much but what a pain mannnnn
