just came back from the dealer.
they checked the power steering fluid and funtion said everything is fine.
they checked the alignment and said it is under specs.
as far as they're concerned nothing wrong.
so much for that. i guess i need to go to the trusted independent mech now.
and no everything was perfect before the first alignment a month ago was performed by sears.
I'm not sure but maybe the tech at sears overtighened something. could the steering gear box be over tightened to cause a stiff steering ?
what r the symptoms of an over tighteened gear box ?
