Consumer Description

STEERING HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. ONE DAY IT WAS FINE AND THE NEXT FELT LIKE THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. AFTER TURNING A CORNER, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE CENTER POSITION WITHOUT CONSIDERABLE FORCE AND ONLY AFTER HITTING THE CURB. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE LOWER INTERMEDIATE SHAFT OF THE STEERING ASSEMBLY HAD A U-JOINT THAT SEIZED AND WAS CLOSE TO BREAKING OFF BEFORE I COULD GET IT REPLACED.
