1995 Ford Taurus with a steering issue. When I turn the steering wheel to a certain spot left or right it will start moving back and forth?
According to previous owner the rack and pinion was previously replaced. Steering wheel Is off a little to the right. Any ideas?
I'd go to a Tire Shop and ask them to check the Font End. Tell them what the car is doing. If nothing's loose it has to be the Steering Rack causing that. Worn or missing teeth on the Pinion Gear or the Rack Gear. I'm sure they'll have an opinion too.

That sound like the power steering control valve is failing.
Assuming it has power steering, is the power control valve mounted in the steering column rather than built in to the rack?
Or is the hydraulic cylinder separate to the rack? That guarantees a separate control valve.
(Trace the power steering pipes - if they go direct from the rack to the pump, the valve is in the rack. Otherwise they will go from the rack or cylinder to the valve unit).
This is a typical rack integrated system - the valve is part of the rack:
This is a typical type with separate valve and power cylinder:
The control valve is at the base of the steering column, or on some types it is part way down.
- What causes the steering wheel to shake when I'm not even moving? After replacing the steering rack in a 1999 Ford windstar, the steering wheel shakes violently when the vehicle is started. The steering wheel is uncontrollable and the vehicle can't be driven. The steering wheel actually moves lock to lock by itself. I've never seen anything like this.

Turn selector knob and absolutely nothing happens? 2001 Ford Ranger 4.0 4x4 4x4 lights popup on dash right before I start it. Turn selector knob and absolutely nothing happens? When I turn the 4x4 selector knob nothing happens I'm pointing out that the light comes on before it starts because its not the actual 4x4 module thats the issue like everyone assumes from he start.
- Will the new 2015 Ford Mustang have the steering wheel on the right? Because Corvette Stingray sold in the UK comes on the left so I was wondering if it's the same for the Mustang
- Left Rear Wheel noise when taking a slight right turn? I have a noise coming from my back of my Ford Focus, ( woo woo woo ) for a while now, it's driving me crazy, I can only hear it when I'm in second or third gear when turning slightly to the right, also i just realized that when in star moving or my car is reversing for a second or two I can hear a squeeking noise. I lifted the car and checked the wheel and is moving freely with no noise whatsoever, it looked ok. I kind of run out of ideas can anyone give any suggestions please!
