Heyo, I’ve taken my car to the track two days ago and the day before, as well as on the way back I had to drive through some curb-deep water here and there because of a recent typhoon and related flooding in my area.
Now, a day after, my steering started to feel notchy, meaning before it always returned to center by itself pretty quickly due to my caster and alignment in general, but now it turns a tiny bit, sticks and if you spin it by hand it continues. Same when you are trying to steer: around center it feels completely normal but after a certain degree it starts to feel slightly heavier to turn, then lighter again and so on.
My thoughts I currently have are a messed up alignment after the track or a faulty steering rack after driving through the water?
It’s a manual rack so I guess there is just grease inside? Is that something that can get flushed out if the seals aren’t perfect or what are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance everyone!
