I got one worn ball joint that moves a little so I'm going to replace both then going to check to see if the problem persists. I'm going to go ahead and replace the wheel bearing/ hub assemblies while I'm at it. I have a feeling the Rack & Pinion is the culprit.

The vehicle returns to center The truck returns to center but the steering wheel remains off center. Thee steering wheel remains off center until you turn the wheel sharply in the opposite direction (usually left), then the steering wheel does go pack to its center position after straightening...

Wanted to EDIT my last post but for some reason, I'm not able to anymore. Just wanted to clarify that my original complaint to the alignment shop, after the first test drive by me, was that the steering wheel was not centered and the truck pulled to the right. I mistakenly indicated in my last...

Was out of town and now reading the replies. To recap, the steering wheel would vibrate violently when I would turn the steering wheel too fast while trying to bleed and with the engine on. Ordered another pump. Installed new pump and flushed whatever fluid was in the rack and cooler. BLED...

Ordered a new pump. Bled power steering system again and did not see any improvement. Will stick to the bleed method from before. Add fluid, front wheels up on the air, turn steering left and right, check fluid level, add more fluid accordingly.

I think the pump is shot. Going to try to bleed the system some more while the engine is off and if it doesn't improve, going to have to replace the pump. I still feel I should have bled the system (power steering system) first while the engine was off.

Own a 2002 Silverado 5.3L Just replaced the Power Steering Pump and Rack & Pinion. While front end up on jack stands, I filled the power steering pump before starting truck with the intention to bleed the air out. After starting the truck (engine), I noticed that the power steering fluid...

Going to see if I can get a Rack and Pinion by Maval directly from them. I don't know which auto parts websites to trust anymore. AMZN is absolutely out of the question.

Steering Racks by MANDO only available from 2004 and up for Chevy's. https://mando.mycarparts.com/ MAVAL would be my next option. Never heard of them but if they are decent I'm willing to give them a shot. Anything else out there?

Time to replace the Rack and Pinion on my 2002 Chevy Silverado. I have no idea who's manufacturing good quality rack and pinion/steering gears these days. Jorgen Automotive rebuilt my father-in-law's rack and pinion a few years ago, but they have since closed shop. Any advice is greatly...

Own a 1991 Honda Civic Si (D16A6). Was about to install a new genuine head gasket for a D16A6 but I came across Civic forums that recommend using a D16Y8 head gasket for my engine. It is recommended to use a metal 3-layer head gasket. The Y8 is supposed to increase compression a tad bit. Only...

Yup, I need glasses. Clearly fits on one side only

All openings on the engine block match up with both sides of the head gasket.

Replacing the head gasket on my 1991 Honda Civic Si (D16A6). The Genuine Honda head gasket for my 1991 Honda Civic Si does not appear to have any markings (ex. TOP) that would indicate on which side or in which direction the head gasket should be installed. Since the head gasket does not have...

Just wondering if anyone has discovered a good replacement manufacture for Jorgen. I was hoping that maybe one of Jorgen's employees would have started his own business.

Own a 1991 Honda Civic Si and getting ready to reinstall the engine head. Need to clean the engine block threads prior to installing new head bolts (OEM Honda). Are there any recommended thread cleaning chasers that forum members have used in the past. I found a M10x1.25 ARP thread cleaning...

Are you able to view short and long term fuel trims and can 02 sensor data be viewed thru graphs?

Thanks, How does the INNOVA 5610, OBD2 Bidirectional Scan Tool, compare to the Innova 5512? I keep reading that bidirectional scanning option on Innova scan tools, is not going to pop up for my 2002 Silverado. Willing to spend a little more money if I can get a good scanner that will run an...

Own a 2002 Chevy Silverado (5.3L, LT) with 456k miles. For a few years now, EVAP codes and Catalyst codes (P0430, etc.) have been popping up and causing issues with my SMOG checks (California). The old smog shop I went to would use a Snap-On Tool and they would show me data such as O2 sensor...

Update!!! Finally decided on seat covers by The Seat Shop (GMBoy recommendation). No regrets. Wish I had replaced them earlier.
