You mean steering wheel not returnig to center position?
I'd think strut bearings might be responcible for this.

When i turn the wheel to the right hard then im coming out of a turn the wheel goes back good but its off centerd like maybe 5-10 degrees, when i get to a stop light and sanp the steering wheel the other way the steering wheel be comes center agen.

are you experiancing any wheel spin? any understeer? or just an increase in steering effort.

If its not recentering, i'd be looking at the rack. It sounds like its out of adjustment in some way and the pinion isn't coming all the way back to center. Either its jumping a tooth on the rack if/when it hits the lock, or there's too much slack in the yoke adjustment.

Do you have a very floating feeling on center?

Also check the tie rod end connections to the strut and the tie rods, as well as the lock collars on the struts. If anything is loose, your wheels may not always point where the steering wheel is.

could it be the camber bolts... everything seems tight i just got new tie rods end not to long ago. by a floating feeling you mean i turn the wheel slightly to ither side it the car does not want to do anything just keeps on going in a strat line? then yes

Curious, did you get an alignment after installing the coilovers?

I got this noise just this last weekend. I'd been driving on a super-bumpy highway and the vibration worked my front driver's perch locks loose - the lowest one that sets the height. Once I tightened it then tapped the wrench with a hammer to really tighten it up, no more noise. I had a similar problem with my Hayames way the fuqq back. Can't say anything about ths steering though, mine feels OK to me.

yea i did get an alignment after i got the coilovers on, im get one soon b/c i just replaced my camber bolt with stock 16mm oem bolt, dident need two camber adjustments since i have camber plates.

have you hit a curb? i have the same exact thing going on and i hit a curb hard. i personally think its the steering rack.
