Description of the problem | I had to purchase new tires due tro uneven wear on the passenger side of the car. I have been hearing a thunking noise, periodically, in the location of the passenger front tire location. The dealership looked at the vehicle 4 days ago and stated that the steering rack needs to be replaced. I am still waiting for the parts to arrive and the noise is getting worse. It now can be heard every time i turn the steering wheel and even stop. |
