1993 mercury sable wagon 3.8 sterring jerks back to center while turning. Is it rack or power sterring. Drive great going straight.

Such problems are caused by the steering rack control valve.

A loose power steering pump belt can cause jerky movements as well. Check the belt tension first and tell tale signs are usually screeching noise when turning the steering.
