Not installed correctly. Either the rack isn't centred correctly or the tracking adjustment is wrong.

How do you bypass the power steering on a 91 Toyota Celica?
I really can't emagine why you would want to do such a thing. The standard rack and pinion will have to be installed also.

Why Necessity of teeth provided on pinion and spur wheel?
Without the teeth meshing together, there would be no transfer of power/force from one pinion/spur wheel to its neighbour. Without the teeth on the main drive shaft gear wheel, you would not be able to turn the rest of the pinion and spur wheels.
What would cause your wheels not to turn when steering wheel moves on a 1998 Pontiac sunfire front wheel drive?
it depends on what you mean by not to turn. side to side or move forward backwards.(stall) if you driving and when you turn the steering wheel the vehicle stops moving then the problem may be your cv axles some how disconecting from the transaxle. if you mean you turn the steering wheel and the wheels don't do anything then your rack and pinion is bad,or your steering column or u joints are loose/disconected. also check where the column and rack interlock sometimes that screw strips and the steering wheel turns but it would not transfer the motion to the rack. how does the steering wheel feels. same,loose,keeps turning endlessly?

Is a car safe to drive with a damaged rack and pinion?
It is almost certainly unsafe to drive a car with a damaged rack and pinion. The rack and pinion are the means by which inputs on the steering wheel are passed to the road wheels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_and_pinion). If the rack and pinion were to fail while the car was being driven, the driver would lose control of the vehicle's steering. If you suspect your rack and pinion to be damaged, the car should be inspected by a qualified mechanic before being driven. Depending on the type of damage, it may be possible to drive the car to a repair shop, or it may need to be towed.
