| Description of the problem | Approximately 20 months ago, began experiencing very difficult steering. Steering acted as if loss of power steering. Difficult to turn and would not return to neutral always, especially in cold weather. Near accident when steering would not return to neutral as expected. Last summer, steering improved in warm weather. This winter, constant problem and did not go away with return of warm weather. From what i have seen on this website, very common and expensive problem. |
