Traction control/stability control after rack and pinion rep
2005 Pontiac Bonneville GXP 149,000 miles. Had rack and pinion replaced, then power steering pump replaced, then rack and pump replaced again due to continued failed power steering after 30 miles or so of driving. Big leak in power steering line, line replaced. Car sets off stability control and traction control turning corners even at a slow speed. Had rack replaced again. Did not fix traction control or stability control. Absolutely no error codes. Please help any suggestions appreciated!

Re: Traction control/stability control after rack and pinion
When they disconnected the steering shaft during R&R, sounds like they didn't get it lined back up properly being centered IIRC, it causes havoc with the steering wheel position sensor in the column. Or something. I forget now to be honest.
