nipper Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Your rack is starting to fail. The rack will bind up in cold weather untill the fluid warms it up. You need a new rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I drove like that for a year so it isnt a rush, just realize it wil be hard when cold and will get worse over time. It goes away in warm weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
