      When I'm driving slow and making a turn it sounds like my axle or something is binding and popping really hard. Also the steering is really tight. when I'm up to speed turning and let go of the wheel it wants to push back in the other direction. Was thinking a bad power steering rack but not sure. Any ideas?

    My malibu doing this for a while now. Scared to drive it. Replaced struts because I was told that was probably it. Still makes this sound. And lots of play in the wheel. This will be my next project, I hope it fixes the issues.

      hey man, see if your vehicle is available for recall. I had the same problem as you, 2005 malibu. replaced most of the front end only to find out the steering shaft is for recall. Dealership is fixing for free.

    Same issue with an old 90's VW Jetta. Told the guy to replace the whole unit if he can still find it .... rather not drive long distance or high speed. If that U - joint snaps off u dont have control of the steering and might smash into oncoming traffic

  • @ThatSaskSilverado
    @ThatSaskSilverado 3 года назад

    I turn my wheel half way and it clunks and on rough roads it’s moved in the dash and steering wheel goes side to side what could it be I’ve replaced a lot and it’s getting to the point where I can’t handle it. What could it be? You can feel it and hear noises in the column and it goes side to side really fast but if you hold wheel tight you can hear it
