Problem with tight corners
My son just got his license.. (red flags going up) and after using the
car for a couple of days, I got it back and when i tried to make a u-turn the car did NOT want to make a tight turn. No noises, no rubbing felt, the tires, just did not want to might a tight turn and in fact it felt like something was pushing back. I've tested this on both left and right turns, and it only happens with a tight turn. I plan to take the car in, but was wondering if anyone might know what this could be, it's just a really weird problem. He did admit to running into a snowbank when parking (the rubber bumper thingy was hanging down,(a dead givaway) so my guess is something got tweaked out, just not sure how huge a problem he created. thanks for any insight into this! - diana |

We can't see what kind of car it is (or the year) from here . . . We're guessing it's a HOnda. 'Curly' |

Jack up the car. Check for bent right outer tie rod, on the steering
rack. synch390 wrote: > sorry. yep, Honda civic 2003, about 42,000 miles on it |
