well everyone that has seen it said rack and pinion...along with the tow truck driver who said he had a civic hatch that had the same problem but sold it...i havent had time in the last week or so to take anything apart to check anything...but everyone says its the rack and pinion...and it pulling hard when i get in a groove in the road makes me feel it was going bad...and the wheel not being center after it skipped a few notchs....then it skips a few more then i had no steering at all....
do you feel it could be something else???
