Turns out the Duralast Main Relay lasted about 10k miles. Should try to figure out why it died so soon or did it to that because it is Duralast?

So here is an update:
The random tugging has stopped.
There is a squeeky front joint somewhere. Cant seem to locate it.
The changes its center. Sometimes the wheel is at 12 oclock and tracking straight. Sometimes i have to hold the wheel at 1230 or 1 to track straight. No. Event causes this change. Sometimes it happens while driving perfectly straight.
The steering wheel kn 90 degree turns is unwinding back to centrr far less than it was. It probably only returns about a quarter of a turn. I have to pull it the rest of the way. It may be getting tougher to turn the wheel, but it is hard for me to tell.I have looked at the arms and rods, nothing obviously bent. The rack is not loose. I rotated the tires as suggested. They are brand new balanced and with straight rims. It was happening prior to the tire purchsse so the rotation did nothing.
Whatched think?
I am thinking there isnt enough pressure to get the rack to center. The change in the center point is caused by air or a change in pressure? So. Is thenrsck binding or is the pump weak? Or is itmsomething else?So here is an update:

Also, if you have any buzzing noises like a back, side window, making a funny sound, check your motor mounts.[/quote]
I have not noticed any torque type steering, or odd noises. I do have some vibration at idle, so I will check out the engine mounts. Thanks!

I have been buying harbor frieght tools for about 6 months since it opened near me. Nothing has failed and everything works well. I have bought the 7000w/8750w generator, sockets, pullers, pliers,lights, air tools, hoses,etc. So far, 100% satisfaction.

I recently changed the front hub on a Saturn vue…it is likely similar. The bearing is captured in a hub. The entire hub needs to come out. After struggling getting the hub out while it was still on the car, I took the knuckle off then pressed the old out. The hub unbolted from the knuckle with three bolts, then press it out. My 12 ton struggled with it but finally broke it free.
