Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WOULD DART TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT ESPECIALLY GOING AROUND A CURE. THE STEERING WOULD HAVE A MOMENTARY EFFECT OF HAVING NO RESISTANCE ON THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR INTERMITENTLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO OVERSTEER AND MADE IT HARD TO KEEP THE VEHICLE GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. I RECENTLY HAD THE STEERING GEAR BOX REPLACED AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE.
