Consumer Description

TIGHT STEERING I THOUGHT DUE TO EXTREME COLD TEMPS IN FEBRUARY. PROBLEM WOULD RESOLVE ITSELF AS THE OUTSIDE TEMPS AND/OR ENGINE TEMP INCREASED. IN APRIL I WAS STILL HAVING VERY TIGHT STEERING INTERMITTENTLY ESPECIALLY ON START UP AND IN THE MORNING (WHEN MY VEHICLE HADN'T SAT IN THE SUN ALL DAY). TOOK IT IN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC, WAS TOLD THE JOINTS INSIDE THE STEERING SHAFT WERE SEIZING UP AND I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW STEERING SHAFT - TOTAL PRICE $533.00. *TR
