I got a S13 240sx.

Recent changed to Megan racing inner and outter tire rods.

It was working great at first, but after a few track events,

I feel a slight delay in steering response at freeway speeds.

For exampl, when the freeway curves right, and immediately curves left.

the steering wheel response going right is fine, but when i turn the steering wheel bac, there is no response for about 10-15 degrees..

It seems like I needed to turn the steering wheel more for the wheels to turn, so I turn jsut a little bit more, all of a sudden the car jerks to the left, as if the steering just kicked in.

And it only occurs during freeway speeds, does anyone know what my problem might be? The Inner and outer tie rods are almost new. Only 2 months old.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
