[QUOTE="wsn9594, post: 1530734, member: 29077"] I let my son drive my 1994 mustang GT to school...... Heavy rains going home, he made the turn to the onramp to interstate, lost control, spun 360, and went sideways thru the grass. He survived and car survived, mostly. While turning the wheels, while going almost all the way to either side while trying to get it lined up to pull into garage, there is a weird pulsing. I thought I was feeling it through the steering wheel. With the car up in the air I can see the two big lines to the rack seem to start dancing. One line goes to the cooler the other to the pump (I assume that it is the pressure line). There are no leaks but these lines seem to have alot of movement at the rack. This car and my parts car have a zip tie around all of the lines at the rack. Both cars zipties are loose. Is this a factory fix? The car did not do this prior to his off road experience. The suspension on the car was rebuilt 2 years ago with new ball joints, outer tie rods, and poly bushings. Everything looks good and feels tight, extremely minor movement for rack bushings. The input shaft of the rack almost seems to have some movement. What am I missing? With engine off, turning rack side to side makes fluid leak out thru cap. No pressure leaks with engine running.
