| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Immediately after turning the steering wheel in either direction while driving, it pulls back in the opposite direction in a jerking motion. I have to hold the steering wheel tightly at every turn and anticipate the jerking of the wheel so i do not cross over to the wrong side of the road or off the road. I took my van to diagnose the problem at my local auto repair shop and was informed that the universal shaft was corroded and needed fully replaced. Both joints were rusted and stiff which is causing the erratic movement of the steering during turns. |
