#22871, "Chunky Steering (Axles???)"


          

When turning my steering wheel, esecially at low speeds, it seems to hit some kind of a physical stop. I can't turn the wheel further until the car creeps forward, and even then sometimes it won't let me turn it further. Sometimes it will even kick my steering wheel back towards center. On-ramps are pretty scary for me now. I haven't had it happen at higher speeds like that, but I am scared that it may. I am thinking it is my axles, ie cv joints. Any opinions? I have a used set of axles that I think I am going to throw on tomorrow morning and see if that fixes the problem. I also still have a slight vibration at highway speeds, and a BAD vibration underbraking. Anyone think they could be related to the CV Joints??

i have this same problem. i used to have really bad vibration. i have to get my wheels balanced a lot, if i cut a corner fast and turn right, it will vibrate and kick back like, 1/8th turn the opposite way. my brakes vibrate HELLA bad too. i just can't beleive its my rotors or pads, it did this even after new pads, and the brakes only vibrate 95% of the time. sometimes they are fine.

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

Chunky steering = Power steering belt
Vibration = new rotors (GSX)
