After my disaster of a celica I have a new shed a Mazda MX3 but as luck would have it I have noticed a slight snag. On low speed maneuvers the steering is normal turned full lock to the left but weights up and becomes noisey to the right. The levels look okay, so I suspect the pump or possibly the rack. Any tips on trying to figure out which is the culprit?
