| Description of the problem | There's a weird clicking/grinding noise coming from my steering when turning. I was making a u-turn (not even 5mph) when i first heard it and has heard it almost everyday since. Its terrifying while driving to think that my steering can fail. My mechanic will let me know if it can be fixed and how much it will cost. I have to say... I'm considering trading that sucker in. |
