Evo Odd Steering Issue
Had my power steering bushing work itself out/off at my last track day - I drove it home with the steering pretty wonky, and I ordered a new whiteline kca390 bushing to go on the car after.
After the install, the car's steering wheel had to be kinked left 10-15 degrees to go straight - but only after a hard left. After a hard right, the car's steering could be straight to go straight. Thinking it was an alignment issue, I had the shop realign the car.
Now, the steering wheel has to be kinked right 10-15 degrees to go straight after a hard right. After a hard left, the car's steering wheel can be straight to go straight.
Any idea what is causing this??? bind in the bushing or something??

so this is the kit - it's actually different from my old kca390, which was yellow, i don't know what the two metal bushings are and there used to be discussion about doubling up the washers or something, but idk where that all ended up.
the shop doesn't work on evos often but i figured a power steering bushing would be straightforward enough?

I pulled the manual and it is a little vague when it comes to putting those bushings together, but any competent mechanic should be able to figure it out.

The manual does specify in the final step:
"9. Check & re-tension all fittings again after 100 kms but no more than 200 kms."
