Hi Guys !

I have a very strange situation with my car.

When i steer on the right only i have a vibration coming through the steering wheel, it doens't wobble it just feels like something grinds on the steering column and is super annoying.

The strange thing is that in only does it when steering right and only when the engine is above some rpm ! On idle you dont feel anything !

The only thing comes in my mind is the steering pump but i dont understand why.

Any ideas ? Engine is sr20det.

Just curious, Did you ever install an aftermarket steering bushing? When I installed mine it touched the firewall and I had a similar condition. Had to massage it out of the way.
