Rack and Pinion Loose
Ok I have a 2002 Toyota Solara SE. I just got my alignment done again because my steering wheel had to be turned to keep my car straight (I think I took a turn to fast and hit a bump or something).
Anyways, I went to Tire Pros to get my alignment fixed. They fixed my alignment, and said that my Rack and Pinion is loose
They said after my car makes a turn, the steering wheel doesn't go back its straight normal position. Well I agree with them because my steering is still messed up, so did I really need an alignment or was my rack and pinion causing all this trouble?
They said I should take my car to Toyota to get this fixed... is my car still covered under my warranty??? because I got Tokico Shocks and Eibach Springs installed.
By the way, I did get into an accident about a month ago, someone slammed into the front left of my Solara going over 60mph while I was making a U-turn. My car was working fine after it got fixed, but I am wondering if this has anything to do with it too
thanx
Is my alignment ok?
