| Description of the problem | The struts mounts had rusted apart. So had to have strut, springs, mounts, sway bar link pins,front struts,plates had to be replaced. Whatever happened suddenly loosened my steering wheel also so could not turn well. The wheel had to be turned almost all the way around to turn a corner. What happened i was turning and a loud pop happened there had been no warning and luckily i was able to get home. On my vehicle this is the second time i had a failure suddenly. Kia did repair the control arms last year when they failed. The corrosion is an issue because if i had been at highway speed i would have had serious problems |
