Did you check the Rack and Pinion to make sure all bolts are still tight. I
spent a fortune (o.k they were getting old) on replacing all bushings, shocks
and motor mounts, dampener crack re-welded and finally was told it was the
steering dampener (still original) to personally find out (two years later)
that the Rack and Pinion had a loose bolt on the passenger side. Tightened it
up and the car is smooth as silk!
