steering - won't return all the way to center
This has been bugging me for a while.
What would keep the steering from returning to center, especially when coming out of a corner below, say 25mph? At these low speeds, I have to help the wheel back to center, I can't just let it slide through my fingers as I would in most other cars.
What I've tried so far without any improvement:
New control arms, tie rods, sway bar links, shocks, tires, wheels.
Adjusted steering box (was a bit loose before, steering wouldn't return to center even before this)
Checked and topped off power steering fluid (has minimal seepage)
Had an alignment after new parts went in.
The guys who did the alignment said something must be binding, "maybe the rack." Since I had to remind them that the car doesn't even have a rack, I figured I'd have better luck asking you guys.
The only thing that's left is what: the center tie rod, the idler arms -non of which make any groaning, squeaking, or clunking noises. What issues come from worn-out steering linkage?
