Heavy steering under load / fast hard cornering

Evening all,

So my z started to have some clunking in the steering when using 70% or more of turn when driving and parking.
This has been fixed by adjusting the slack on the rack.

Another problem which has me looking same place is under heavy heavy cornering the steering gets really slow and heavy. Doesnt feel right, levels are ok cold/hot.

Might see if any air is in the system?

Any ideas?

Thanks chan i did check for play and couldnt see anything obvious.

Would standard drop links affect this on a WL sway bar? I have some spls inbound but dont want to pin my bets that will solve...

Where was the rack adjusted? If you adjusted it at center then it may be binding out on the ends. Supposed to adjust at the ends of the rack where there will be the least wear.
