Hi everyone and Happy new year :-)
A couple of months ago I ran into not one, not two but four bloody potholes in succession. All on the left. For a good while after the steering felt seriously light, but returned to normal within the day.
I don't have much opportunity to examine the car underneath ( it's quite low, nowhere to jack it up right now ) but I've noticed since that at times I tend to get a weird noise from somewhere in the steering mechanism ( from what I can tell ). It's not a loud noise, but rather like hitting a chassis member with a hammer, and it tends to happen when I'm doing a long, sweeping turn.
I can't be sure ( may be paranoia ) but I think I'm getting a slight bit of feedback through the steering at the same time ( but only in tandem with the noise, normal at all other times ). Also, the steering boss doesn't sit straight like it used to in a straight line.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tony.
