| Description of the problem | I noticed a pop as i was making a left hand turn and the steering wheel became really loose. I began to make a u turn a few minutes later and the steering wheel turned 360 degrees, but the actual wheels did not turn with it. I was stuck in the middle of the street because i could not turn left and had to reverse to get the car straight again. .... Updated 08/05/14 *bf updated 08/19/2014 *js |
