Steering Problem

Post by pepitopinoy »

Ater turning on a parking space and returning the wheels to straight position, it suddenly become very hard to steer. THen I noticed that my wheels were already on straight position by the steering wheel was not. So i try to drive it home and there are times where it is very hard to steer on turns and the steering wheels ending up not on straight positon although the car is moving straight. There is also some noise that i can hear when i try to steer when the car is stationary hence no steering warning lights on the dash.

Any idea what the problem might be or anything i can check to see the problem?

I would go around all of the suspension nuts and bolts and check that they are at the correct torque( tightness) if I was you and replace as required.

You have been lucky could have been a disaster.
