| Description of the problem | If i get a little bump on the highway i lose control of my steering for a few seconds and it goes back to normal, its been like that for years. But lately in the past 3 months there has been a strange noise coming from my steering box and wheels mainly on the driver side like if i'm dragging something and as if my steering is falling apart. This has been a major concern that i recently stopped driving it. |
