GP1138 Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Alright, my subframe has been popping and groaning for some time now. I was making a left turn today, and my steering wheel/column/rack made a loud pop, and my steering is now reversed, somewhat. Whereas I used to have to cock the wheel to the right to go straight, it's now to the left. My car pulls to the right, unless I accellerate, then it pulls to the left. Today I was able to steer my car WITHOUT THE WHEEL, by letting it drift to the right, then accellerating to make it pull to the left. Does anybody have any experience, or know what might have popped to make this happen? Any advice would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
