BCM Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 So whenever I go over certain bumps in the road, I hear/feel a clunk, and as I'm just going down the road I can feel small "clunks" on my steering wheel. Also, if i hold the wheel perfectly straight, it pulls to the right a little... Overall the car just doesn't drive the way it used to.. So...what causes all this? Could all this be related to the same problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRONDOG442 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 The first thing I try when my car is pulling is I check the tire pressure to make sure they are inflated evenly... The clunking you describe is probably the intermediate shaft needs greased, this is a cheap job to have done and it tightens up your steering very very nicely... My best advice to you is use a tire pressure gauge and check tire pressure and go to any service center and ask them to grease that shaft, it should be about $50-$60 and you will notice a HUUUGE difference in how tight your steering is afterwards.

Q-Ball Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Take it in to get an alignment. If anything is wrong, they will let you know. Thats what I did, still trying to replace all the parts needed. After thats done, I'm taking it back in to get the alignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdcutty Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 a bad wheel bearing can cause this too. if it pulls to the right then i would guess it would be the front pass. side. i am having the same problem right now...again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
