This is the internal core rod from the S2000 steering rack. On the far end, you can see the teeth, the "rack" part of the rack-pinion steering. This part is controlled by the steering wheel like all cars.
Now on the close end, you'll see the long worm gear. An electric motor, with a large amount of ball bearings, spins around this to pull it back and forth to give you the electric assist. The tolerance is very tight. If there are any water spots or imperfections on the worm gear, it will hang up big time and cause no-return.
If you want me to put you on the list, you can bring just the rack. I can even straignten it if it's bent. I made a custom s2k rack straighten gig long ago just for guys like you

Man, this guy is so nice, always!
I'm a little nicer to Milkbubble because he is a paid s2ki member, and he attends regular meets

Washabi....the EPS system has trouble codes just like the engine. That's where you'll start.

I can't remember how to do it, But you can reset the EPS system via the OBX plug. This resets the 'center' of the steering so it knows where to return to..

Ok I found the problem with my steering rack. I had some free time today so I decided to pull the rack off the car.
Driving in this:
Did this:
I tasted the water that fell out when I pulled the boot and it is VERY salty! YUCK!!
