front caenter point then slowly turn the stereing wheel from lock to lock with engine off. then try with pressure on-running look for jerks or glitches. Check the sockets on ech end for looseness by wiggling the road wheel slightly. should be tight. DO NOT TURN THE RACK FROM THE ROAD WHEELS- you can damage the pinion!
If you notice any roughness or catches there could be some damage to the rack or the pinion. if the pinion you will have three distint "detents" as you turn. if the rack probably only one. if it isn't leaking suggest you drain and refill using proper fluid and try it. It is a DIY project just a little messy. Rebuilt unit available from several vendors look around the board.
