Rack or Tie Rods
 

Hey guys, I have a 06 G35 coupe, due to moving from OH to NJ I cant go and look at the G to see if its the tie rods or rack since it is still in OH. I am going back in may but need to see if I should order a rack or tie rods or both. Basically my car will randomly in the front glide where the front left tire feels like its going at an angle and the right tire feels like its going straight, now with that it sounds like a tie rod. But my power steering pump is pretty much out now I parked the car after the last drift event and it was done for, the fluid is all gritty and such so if you think about that running through the rack it could create bald spots. Idk I honestly just need some opinions on what everyone thinks. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does it is pretty scary, the whole steering wheel pretty much goes a 30 degree turn (I cant remember which direction I haven't driven it in two months)

Use something to suck the fluid out of the power steering reservoir, then refill the reservoir. You could also just unhook the feed line and spin the PS pulley by hand (drive belt removed) to suck all the fluid out, then refill the reservoir, continue spinning the pump by hand and top off the reservoir until it won't take anymore fluid. Doesn't take long to get it all out there's not much fluid.

As for the front drift, it's probably just alignment related but for a drift car I definitely recommend replacing the inner and outer tie rod ends on each side since they will be getting a lot of extra abuse.
