Don't really think so, but bare in mind pulley free out HP, so extra power might gone to the steering....... His camber and tryes might be the cause too...

It could be the rack though, I have changed mine once. It cost me 4K to bring in new one.

One other thing, I got hesitation while going from rpm 4K-4.5K, anyone knows what the problem might be. My car is about 63K km already, heard it is about time to rebuild the engine, is it true? I am worried, would probably trade it for something else if that's the case.

If not, then let me know what could be the problem. I am thinking of investing some after market product in my car... things like turbo and stuff like that. Just to have fun with it, after owning it for 2years without doing anything with it.

The car just won't go, there's like a jerk, loss of power, then when I reach 4.5K rpm it all went ok.
