(sorta ot) 16v a/c problem

[rhock99@epix.net (Ryan H)]

Brett, wow that's weird...  The only thing I can think of is that the AC clutch is having a problem and causing the power steering to have a surge/drop in pressure... but that still wouldn't explain why the pull to one direction.  Maybe other listers will have some ideas.
