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.
