It seemed like water, but I have had to add fluid to my power steering, so I don't really know. The inner tie rod was obviously wet and had been for some time.

Thanks. I changed out the inner and outer tie rod on the passenger's side and it did the trick. My inner tie rod had quite a bit of play in in and was obviously shot.

It does not dart out when hitting the gas and it seems like ...
