Posted November 17, 20168 yr Ok so my new n/a has a strange steering issue which myself & 1 of the previous owners can't seem to get to the bottom of. When turning steering wheel (left or right) to lock it goes from a feeling of resistance to none at all at about half at turn & then back again?..... on, off,on,off & back again.... I thought it was something to do with the PAS but no, now up on axle stands with the wheels off its exactly the same. 1 of the previous owners changed the rack twice, still not resolved?.... It feels like something is out of shape or bent. Could it be the coloum itself, it does have a solid steering coloum spacer?... Bent arms? I'm at a loss, any ideas?

November 17, 20168 yr Is the uj ok on the steering column where it connects to the rack. If this was seizing it would give tight spots...
November 18, 20168 yr Author Thanks Terry, i believe it is will have another look over the weekend. If this is the problem how do I solve it?

The UJ is a replaceble separate part https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-oem-48080-30p01-steering-joint-coupler-nissan-300zx-90-96-z32_p_2466.php. (more expensive than expected - you could get a good used one, it's not s common issue)

MJP perhaps or maybe someone who's a breaking a car on here has one?.....
