Consumer Description

BUSHINGS AND THE SEALS IN THE STEERING WHEEL ARE BAD AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE. THIS HAS NOT EFFECTED THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE YET. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BUSHINGS ARE NON-REPLACEABLE, AND THAT THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE RACK AND PINION. OWNER FEELS THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS SAFETY INSPECTION IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION. *AK
