You jump a tooth in the rack?

Frankly, not totally sure what that means.
Driver's side seems OK, passenger side wonky.
Does jumping a tooth insinuate steering being off on both sides?

Again, I don't know what I'm doing.
I appreciate the help . . .

Correct, if you jumped a tooth the steering wheel would just be off center

True. I've never seen inside the P5's rack. Are dual shaft R&Ps even a thing? That would be about the only way I could see it only affecting one side.

No, it's one rack with a bevel pinion.....basically a piece of round stock with teeth on one side then a pinion gear to move it side to side. We have one customer who uses a SCKMM to make the pinion for a European car company......not sure which one though.

Just looked it up. I'm honestly at a loss as to why this thing is so out of whack. It looks like it should be obvious. Only other thing I can think of is to start swapping parts with the 520 to see what changes.

🤔I think he should rent it to me for $69.69! I’m certain with the right amount of insurance I can help him end the suspense of finding out what’s broke or bent.

I'm among the easiest on the P5s, certainly about the slowest, at least in my mind! Then again, it's a small sample size unfortunately.
This is the first thing I've had happen in the four years I've owned it, excepting cosmetics.
And I still maintain this happened with a different nut behind the wheel! 🙃

The wife exaggerates . . . 😁

It prolly would be obvious, to the right person. I ain't he . . . 🙄

But can you install a 1000??
Sorry, I don’t have those fabrication skills. I’d certainly be volunteering to help you out if I did. I can swap parts well enough to change head gaskets and such but my diagnostic skills are not true mechanic level. And I definitely don’t trust myself to fab up my own mounting brackets for stuff.

Nothing wrong with knowing your limits IMHO! I think this is one many of the fellas could have been far faster to help you figure out if the machine was in front of them. Pics just aren’t the same sometimes.

I can’t and won’t speak for him but I don’t think you are too far from @HondaTech ’s dealership. It might be worth seeing if you can give buy him a good meal for his time and drag it up to his area to look at it for you in a restaurant parking lot or something. Just a random thought.
