Since I had the 416 LS3 installed in the car I've been chasing a few problems:

1) a clunk in the steering from a stop. Inner tie rods? the steering feels a little odd, I already replaced the PS pump and drained/refilled fluid with new. Problem still exists.

2) RPMs drop when steering goes to full lock in both directions and if I don't feed it throttle the engine will die (still dies regardless sometimes). Rarely- but also rev matching on down shifts coming to a stop (no steering input) the RPMs dip just below 500rpm and then they come back up to idle..has died a couple times. Or an alternative to low RPM is high RPM idle after to coming to a stop from rev matching down shifts (sometimes without downshifts). It will idle around 1300 then after being stationary for ~3 seconds it drops back to the 800/900 idle.

3) Throttle cable on the NW 96 TB is loose causing a lag in the throttle input, how do I adjust this?

Any help or input?

#1 is most likely a front lower control arm bushing, the rear ones tear. Also check the K member bolts.

#2 Sounds like the power steering pump relief valve is bad, the other 1/2 of this is a tune issue. BUT, with it idling go out under the hood and wiggle the TPS wiring.

#3 you should be able to bend the bracket back to take up the slack in the cable.

front control arms have new moog bushings. I'll check the kmember

where is the relief valve located, on the rack?
