05 Le Sabre power steering issue

[Guest speedfreek155]

First , I hope this is the correct place , as I usually post in Reatta , Asking this question for a friend I'm trying to help . He has a swapped 2 power steering pumps , but when he starts car the wheel turns on its own , sometimes semi-violently . He hash't changed box or rack , I have not been able to even find any trouble that resembles this description . Any input would be greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance , Bill

New Rack . Thanks for looking

Whenever the wheel turns by itself, of close to it, the valving in the gear is having an issue.  In the old Chrysler power steering gears, there was a procedure to "center" the valve so it would not do that.  A "tap and see" procedure, at best.  When the valve is centered, things act as they should.

 

Glad things worked out well!

That was definitely a control valve issue inside of the rack. Rack and pinion systems wont have an adjustment for the control valve like the Chrysler gear that NTX5467 is talking about. The only solution is a new rack. I know you've resolved this already, but it never hurts to put this information on here for the next guy searching for a solution to this issue.
