my steering wheel when steering on a highway ramp left or right tends
to pull back as if wanting me to straighten the wheel.kind of kicks in
trying to bring the wheel back to normal, so i have to hold it with a
tight grip.no problem when driving straight.does anyone know what is
the problem?should i flush the fluid(does anyone know how to) and fill
up with new one.existing fluid looks muddy.level was low so i topped
it.

thanks

Check for broken front spring(s).

If you are asking where the front springs & steering rack are, it's time
to take the car in to a pro.

Has that kind of knotchy tugging back at you feel?
Mine does it too. Bad valves or seals in the rack.
You need another rack. While your at it, tie rod ends
and alignment.

Nadeem, after reading some of your posts. Take your car to a professional
and let them diagnose and correct your concern. You are NOT qualified enough
to do this job..
