Strange Steering Issue

[DannycVR6]

I have a 91 SS and when I make a right turn from a stop, the car pulls right... also dose the same when making a left hand turn from a stop from then on pulls left.

when I let off the gas it seems to pull harder to which ever direction.

I have replaced both front ball joints and both front wheels and tires.

steering rack bushings?
tie rod ends??
loose sub frame bolt?
wheel bearing?

I'm putting in a prothane poly kit right now. and group N mounts

thanks for any help

Tire inflation? Alignment?

But did you get an alignment or check your tire pressures? Just because you replaced some stuff doesn't mean you did XYZ... ;)

I don't see a point in an alignment as of right now cause the problem still exists. If it was pulling consistently to one side I would.

I'm thinking it might be some kinda valve or something in the power steering rack. But I really have no idea.

An alignment inspection will tell you if something is out of adjustment, or loose. Not all alignment issues are "it's always pulling to the left/right". I had a car that drove pretty straight most of the time - but when I hit a sweeping right hand on-ramp the car would twitch and want to pull to the left a lot. I figured it was simply the cheap all-season tread. Turns out the right wheel was at +0.5 and the left wheel was at -1.0 (thereabouts). Getting an alignment fixed the problem.

But hey, it's not the first time I've recommended the wrong solution. I'm just trying to narrow it down for you.

It just seems like something other then alignment. I also don't want to spend $90 and have them align the car as it sits and drive around the block and have it all wrong again.

An alignment tech will be able to tell you if your tierods are shot...which is one of the items you listed as a possible issue. *shrug*
