You'll have to be more specific than, "steering problem." By the way, it's called a "Rack and Pinion." lol

ok so my Rack and Pinion has air in the lines. is there a way to bleed this to get rid of the air or do i have to buy a new one?

Yeah, you can bleed the air out it just like the brakes. Besides, replacing the unit would require bleeding too. You can take the car to any auto repair shop, and have them bleed the R&P.
