24025, steering issue Posted by Eclipse97, May-24-04 03:07 PM
I just changed the outter tie rod ends (aftermarket tie rod ends from autozone $16 each)
It was piece of cake to change, but here is the problem. Now if I turn my steering all the way to either sides, it doesn't come/turn back on its own. It sticks in that same position on eitherside unless if I turn it back.
any suggestions? am I making any sense? did I do something wrong?
thanks

Like the other post, this probably has to do with the toe. With a neutral toe setting, the wheel is supposed to turn back slowly, but not all the way. If the wheel turns all the way to one side and stays there, you have toe out, if it quickly centers itself, you have toe in. Both toe out and toe in will wear out your tires quickly as they are rubbing on asphalt as you drive down the street.
