well, since it's steering-related, have you checked the power steering fluid?

ok not the fluid level........i tried something to find out if its steering or not.(the following goes in order with the way the gear indicator is layed out) P= no hissing R=very slight hissing N= no hissing D hisses and changes tone when u turn wheel D2= same as D  1= same as D



all vac hoses check out idles alittle rought but #4 cyl wire keeps comming off of plug....i need a new wireset anyways and need to do a tuneup this car has been running weird ever seince i changed the upper and lower intake gaskets first timing was messed then coil ped out then i forgot about a few vac lines not hooked up hooked those up/replaced the py hoses still running screwed/black smoke fixed plugs readjusted timing  runs good if wire aint off #4 just drives like  all gears are SLLLLLOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW! i mean a 3 cyl 95hp geo gets up to speed faster..... i think its time to replace throttle cable and TV cable......
