Ok so today at the shop i did the ecological thing and used a refrigeration recycling machine to empty out my A/C system (bottled the R-12, some guy offered me loot for it, im prolly gonna sell it to him the **** is expensive and hard to find)



anyway so i emptied it out and as i've been driving today i noticed that the power steering now feels like it has a lot of slop/looseness in it. like before i did this at high speeds a little nudge and i'd jump to another lane, now it's more like a half a turn and i jump over a lane.



I dont hear any odd noises or anything coming from the steering system, any ideas or is my head just paying games?



oh and i recarpetted my hatch today woo, old tint is coming off tomorrow or wednesday with some nice 5% black going on it whenever i get a chance.

no but see it cant be wiring cause it like just adjusts itself.



like "hmm today the steering will be tight....until he htis 90 then the wheel can spin 5 times and this car wont move"



cant wait to rip it all out.
