Hi Everyone,
Problem on steering. I have a 2006 Porsche 911 Carrerra 4 (997) (4 wheel drive). Since day one, the steering has been uneven meaning that it is "looser" or has more give when I turn right and is "tighter" or more responsive when I turn left. The alignment is normal and straight. I've brought it back to the dealer 4 times and they've changed the steering rack but say there's nothing else more they can do. This has been extemely frustrating b/c its makes it unenjoyable to drive a sports car b/c of this difficult handling. I dont' know anything about the steering mechanism of Porsches, esp. a 4 wheel drive system but I'm thinking could there be a problem in the steering column? What else could I have them look at or demand to replace? Thank you.

Hi racedriver, well if its an all-wheel drive system and the steering seems losse in one direction and normal/responsive in the other direction. Plus the dealer has checked the steering system and alignment and found nothing notable, then I would suggest that you have the power transfer system that distributes power evenly to the wheels checked. From what you describe in your post it sounds to me that you may have a weak axle joint or bad bearings in the transfer case (differential). Try have this checked and see what you learn. Come back and let us know what you find out. Maybe we can get you closer with more info........IDOL
